Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 0.5 cup unsalted butter
- 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 0.75 cup granulated sugar
- 0.25 cup brown sugar, packed
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 0.5 cup all-purpose flour
- 0.25 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 cup creamy peanut butter
- 2 tablespoons powdered sugar
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a mini muffin tin or line it with paper liners.
In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the butter and chocolate chips together in 30-second increments, stirring well after each interval, until smooth. Let it cool slightly.
Stir in granulated sugar and brown sugar until well combined. Add the eggs one at a time, mixing after each addition. Stir in vanilla extract.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture and stir until just combined.
In a small bowl, mix peanut butter and powdered sugar until well blended. Roll the mixture into 24 small balls (about 1 teaspoon each) and set aside.
Spoon about 1 tablespoon of brownie batter into each mini muffin cup, filling it about halfway. Press a peanut butter ball into the center of each, then top with an additional small spoonful of batter to cover the peanut butter.
Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the brownie bites are set on the edges but still slightly soft in the center.
Allow the brownie bites to cool in the muffin tin for 5 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely before serving.
