Steps:
- Preheat oven to 350°F / 175°C. Line two 12 cup muffin pans with 12-14 cupcake liners and set aside.
- Cupcakes: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the butter, sugar, eggs, and vanilla until well combined. Sift in the flour, cocoa and salt and stir just until combined. Using an ice cream scoop, spoon the batter into the prepared liners. Fill them about 3/4 to almost full.
- Bake for 22-26 minutes until the tops look crinkly and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out slightly dirty. Do not overbake them or they will become cakey. Remove from the oven and let cool for 10 minutes. Then remove from the pan and transfer to a wire rack and allow to cool completely before frosting.
- Frosting: In a large mixing bowl, using an electric mixer fitted with a whisk or paddle attachment, beat butter on medium-high speed until soft and creamy, about 2-3 minutes. Sift in the powdered sugar and mix until fully combined and smooth. Add the chocolate and mix until well combined and creamy. Pipe or spread onto the cooled cupcakes and serve. Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.

Steps:
- For the brownie: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
- Grease a 9-inch deep-dish pie plate with 1 tablespoon butter, then dust with flour. Tap out any excess.
- Microwave 4 tablespoons butter in a small microwave-safe bowl in 30-second intervals until melted, about 1 minute. Add the peanut butter cookies to the bowl of a food processor and process until fine crumbs have formed. Pour in the melted butter and pulse until the cookies are wet like sand. Press the cookie crumbs into the bottom and completely up the sides of the prepared pie plate.
- Whisk the flour, cocoa powder and salt in a medium bowl. Melt the semisweet chocolate and the remaining 8 tablespoons butter in a medium saucepan over medium heat, stirring constantly to prevent burning, about 2 minutes. Stir in the eggs and sugar until well combined. Gently fold in the flour mixture until well combined. Fold in the peanut butter chips. Pour the batter in the cookie crust and bake until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean, 30 to 35 minutes. Remove to a wire rack to cool completely, about 1 hour.
- For the peanut butter cream: Meanwhile, place the cream cheese, peanut butter and marshmallow creme in a medium bowl. Beat with an electric mixer on medium speed until smooth. Add the heavy cream to a separate medium bowl and beat with an electric mixer on medium speed until stiff peaks form, about 2 minutes. Fold the whipped cream into the peanut butter mixture, then fold in the mini chocolate chips. Spread the mixture on the top of the pie and chill until completely set, about 2 hours.
- For the whipped topping: Meanwhile, whisk the cream cheese, heavy cream and sugar in a medium bowl with an electric mixer on medium speed until stiff peaks form, about 3 minutes. Mound the whipped topping on top of the pie and sprinkle with more mini chocolate chips and peanut butter chocolate chips.

I grew up in my parents' bakery, which might explain why I don't like frosting. These brownie cupcakes are just my style! They come out shiny on top and are great without frosting. -Cindy Lang, Hays, Kansas

- Combine walnuts and biscuits. Add butter and mash thoroughly.
- Preheat oven to 325 degrees F. Butter a 10-inch diameter springform pan and press biscuit crust into base and 2-inches up side. Cover this crust with waxed paper, cut to fit bottom exactly. Fill pan with split peas, up to height of sides and bake "blind" for 1 hour. Let cool while still filled.

Tips:
- Be sure to follow the recipe’s instructions carefully. Over-mixing can cause the cupcakes to be tough and dense. - Use a high-quality cocoa powder. This will give the cupcakes a rich, chocolatey flavor. - If you don’t have a piping bag, you can use a plastic baggie with the corner snipped off. - Fill the cupcake liners only about ⅔ full. The cupcakes will rise as they bake. - Bake the cupcakes until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with just a few moist crumbs attached. - Let the cupcakes cool completely before frosting them. This will help the frosting to set properly. - If you want to make the frosting ahead of time, you can store it in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Just be sure to let it come to room temperature before using it.Conclusion:
Mile high brownie cupcakes are a delicious and easy-to-make treat. They’re perfect for any occasion, from birthday parties to potlucks.
