Get some mini chocolate-covered peanut butter cups. Prepare the mix
using extra eggs (for the "cakey" kind of brownie. Use a cupcake pan
with cupcake liners - fill half full. Place one unwrapped peanut
butter cup in each and push down. Bake as per directions on the mix.

Another way is to make a standard pan of brownies and before baking
top with a package of chocolate chips spread evenly across. Again,
going the cakey route is the best option for the batter.
