Tuesdays rule. That’s because every Tuesday, some editor friends and I meet up at a local bar to play trivia, drink beers, and stuff our faces with fish ‘n’ chips, chili, and patty melts. But, really, we’re there for the trivia. After a foiled attempt last season, we were determined to make it into the top 30 teams that would compete in this season’s tournament.
To encourage my teammates, I try and make a point of bringing treats to trivia nearly every week. During the course of the four-month season, I’ve brought cinnamon oatmeal cookies, Tell-Tale Heart Brownies, caramels, and much more.
But, one week, I was particularly inspired by Sprinkle Bakes’ peanut butter cup brownie cake, so I decided to make four mini versions for my teammates. They were quickly devoured.
First, I made the brownie cake batter. Then, I made the peanut butter filling. (Doesn’t it look like snow?) And then I filled the layers with lots of peanut butter cups. I combined the filling with the peanut butter cups, which resulted in two layers of put-that-in-my-face-now-dough.
I built mini cakes for each of my teammates and the guys devoured them. Which led to the creation of a larger version…
