Peanut Butter Cheesecake Brownie Babies

Here are the brownnies from Book Club today. I got this recipe from the Kraft Magazine.

1 pkg (19 to21 oz.)brownie mix (I used my own recipe for brownies which is also on this blog)
1 pkg (8 oz.) Cream cheese, softened
1/3 cup sugar
1 egg
1/4 cup peanut butter
1/2 tsp. vanilla
1 1/2 cups cool whip
20 maraschino cherries

Heat oven to 350 degrees. Prepare brownie batter as directed on package. Spoon into 20 paper-lined muffin cups.

Beat cream cheese, sugar, egg, peanut butter and vanilla with mixer until blended. Spoon 1 rounded Tbsp. into center of batter in each cup, pressing lightly into batter. Bake 30 min. or until centers are set. Cool.

Serve topped with cool whip and cherries.
