Ingredients
  

Brownie Ingredients
  • 1 cup chocolate chips semisweet or dark
  • 1/2 cup butter
  • 1 cup sugar
  • 2 large eggs room temperature recommended
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup all-purpose flour or gluten-free 1:1 baking flour
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
Peanut Butter Filling
  • 1/2 cup peanut butter creamy recommended
  • 1/4 cup powdered sugar

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a mini muffin tin or spray with nonstick spray.
  2. In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the chocolate chips and butter. Microwave in 20–30 second bursts, stirring between each, until smooth and fully melted.
  3. Stir the sugar into the chocolate mixture, then whisk in the eggs and vanilla until the batter is glossy and uniform.
  4. Add the flour and salt, folding gently until just combined. Do not overmix.
Assembling
  1. Spoon about half a tablespoon of batter into each mini muffin cup.
  2. In a small bowl, mix the peanut butter with the powdered sugar until smooth and slightly stiff.
  3. Place a small dollop of the peanut butter mixture into the center of each cup.
  4. Top each cup with more brownie batter until the cups are about 3/4 full.
Baking
  1. Bake for 12–15 minutes, until a toothpick inserted near the center comes out mostly clean.
  2. Allow the brownie bites to cool in the pan for 10–15 minutes, then remove to a wire rack to finish cooling.

Notes

These bites freeze well and can be served with ice cream for a delicious contrast. Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days or in the refrigerator for up to 7 days.
