  • Method: Baking
  • Cuisine: American

Ingredients

Brownie Base

  • 10.25 ounces brownie mix (plus ingredients required on the package)
  • Non-stick cooking spray (for greasing)

Peanut Butter Topping

  • ¾ cup creamy peanut butter, melted
  • ½ cup peanut butter chips
  • ½ cup mini chocolate chips

Instructions

  1. Preheat and Prepare Pan: Preheat your oven to 350° F (175° C). Spray a mini muffin pan thoroughly with non-stick cooking spray to prevent sticking, then set it aside.
  2. Prepare Brownie Batter: In a large mixing bowl, prepare the boxed brownie mix according to the package instructions, blending all required ingredients until smooth and uniform.
  3. Fill Muffin Wells: Evenly distribute the prepared brownie batter into the mini muffin wells, filling each well almost to the top for perfect bite-size brownies.
  4. Bake Brownie Bites: Place the pan in the preheated oven and bake for 13 to 15 minutes. The brownies are done when the tops are set and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out slightly wet but not with raw batter.
  5. Create Indentations: Once removed from the oven, immediately press your thumb or the back of a teaspoon gently into the center of each brownie bite to create a small well for the peanut butter filling.
  6. Prepare Peanut Butter: Transfer the peanut butter to a microwave-safe bowl. Microwave on high for about 45 seconds and then stir well to achieve a thin, runny consistency suitable for spooning.
  7. Add Peanut Butter Filling: While the brownie bites are still warm, spoon approximately one teaspoon of the melted peanut butter into each indentation, allowing the peanut butter to soak in lightly.
  8. Top with Chips: Immediately sprinkle the tops of each brownie bite with mini chocolate chips and peanut butter chips to finish off the treats with a delightful crunch and extra flavor.

Notes

  • Use a good quality brownie mix for best results or try making your own from scratch if preferred.
  • Make sure to melt the peanut butter to a runny consistency to easily fill the indentations.
  • Don’t overbake the brownies; they should be fudgy and slightly undercooked in the center for perfect texture.
  • Allow brownie bites to cool fully for easier removal from the pan and to set the peanut butter topping.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or refrigerate for up to a week.
