Brownie Candy Cups

Easy & amazing.  That's it.  It's all I can say about these candy cups...a.k.a cupcakes.  Basically a brownie, in a cupcake package, with a little extra "something" in the middle.  I actually made these for our friends as a thank you for taking us out to dinner.  I packaged them up & told my hubby to bring them to work {his friend works with him.}  I may never know if they got there...as hubby cannot be trusted with any chocolate/peanut butter combination. 

I also brought some of these to work & they were all gone before I knew it.   I had a few requests for the recipe, so without further adieu...

1/3 cup water
