PEANUT BUTTER CUP BROWNIE BITES



Peanut Butter Cup Brownie Bites image

I love chocolate and peanut butter so any combo of them together I will try. When I made these, everyone absolutely loved them. They didn't last long. Infact I had to make a second batch.

Provided by Julieann Andrews

Categories     Cookies

Time 25m

Number Of Ingredients 4

1 box your favorite brownie mix
1/2 c peanut butter chips*
1/2 c chocolate chips*
3/4 c creamy peanut butter

Steps:

  • 1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Spray 40 mini muffin cups
  • 2. Prepare boxed brownie mix as directed. Spoon batter evenly into muffin cups (about 1 heaping teaspoon). Bake for 13-15 minutes or until top is set and a toothpick inserted into center comes out slightly wet. After brownies are out of the oven, wait for centers to fall. This will happen upon cooling. This did not happen for me, so I used my index finger and poked a hole in the center. I went slightly deep so I could put more peanut butter in the middle. I took them out of the muffin tin and placed them on my work surface because I found this way easier to assemble them instead of still in the muffin tin, but its your preferance.
  • 3. Place peanut butter in a small microwave-safe bowl. Microwave on high for 45 seconds then stir. While brownies are still warm spoon about half a teaspoon of peanut butter into the center of each brownie.(I did not measure this because I did slightly deeper hole, so you made need more peanut butter) Top with chocolate chips* and peanut butter chips*. Cool completely in pan. *I just used 3 each of both chips, they fit perfectly.
  • 4. You should wait to eat these when the peanut butter is cooled and set. Warning, these are very addicting..please enjoy

Tips:

  • Prepare your oven and pan: Preheat your oven to the temperature specified in the recipe and grease or line a baking pan with parchment paper to prevent the brownies from sticking.
  • Mix dry ingredients thoroughly: In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt until well combined. This ensures that these ingredients are evenly distributed throughout the batter.
  • Melt butter and chocolate together: In a microwave-safe bowl or over a double boiler, melt the butter and chocolate together until smooth. Stir constantly to prevent burning.
  • Add sugar and eggs one at a time: Gradually add the sugar to the melted butter and chocolate mixture, beating well after each addition. Then, add the eggs one at a time, mixing until just combined.
  • Fold in dry ingredients: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, folding them in gently until just combined. Overmixing can result in tough brownies.
  • Pour batter into prepared pan: Pour the brownie batter into the prepared baking pan and spread it evenly.
  • Bake the brownies: Bake the brownies according to the recipe's instructions, checking for doneness with a toothpick inserted into the center. The toothpick should come out with just a few moist crumbs attached.
  • Let the brownies cool: Allow the brownies to cool completely in the pan before cutting and serving. This helps them set and firm up.
