Peanut Butter and Oreo-Stuffed Brownie Cupcakes

By Rebecca O'Neill at Colgate

If you’ve ever watched The Parent Trap (the Lindsay Lohan version) then you’re familiar with the heavenly combination that is peanut butter and Oreos. I believe that it’s one of the most delicious and one of the most under-appreciated pairings out there. And so, to remedy this severe under-appreciation, I have created a brownie dessert that celebrates the marriage of peanut butter and Oreos in a seriously amazing way.

Hallie and Annie would definitely approve.
