Peanut Butter Cup Brownie Bites
Description
This recipe starts by melting butter, sugar, water, and semisweet chocolate chips together, creating a chocolate base that is combined with egg, vanilla, flour, and baking soda to form a smooth batter. Milk chocolate chips are folded in for added chocolate texture. The batter is portioned into mini muffin cups and baked at 350°F until set.
After baking, the centers are gently pressed to create a small well which is filled with warmed, melted creamy peanut butter, creating a peanut butter core inside each brownie bite. This method produces tender brownies with a gooey peanut butter surprise in the center.
The notes mention the recipe is adapted from Chocolate Therapy, indicating a focus on a rich, chocolate-peanut butter combination with careful handling of melted chocolate and peanut butter for the best texture and flavor.
Ingredients
- 3/4 cup sugar
- 1/4 cup butter *softened
- 1 tablespoon water
- 1 cup chocolate chips semi-sweet
- 1 egg
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup flour *all purpose
- 1/4 teaspoon baking soda
- 3/4 cup milk chocolate chips
- 1/2 cup peanut butter *creamy
Instructions
- In a microwaveable safe bowl, combine the sugar, butter, and water. Microwave in 45 second increments until butter is melted.
- Add in the 1 cup chocolate chips (semisweet) and stir until melted. *If not melting entirely, stick back into microwave for a few seconds.
- Stir mixture until completely combined.
- Add in the egg and vanilla extract.
- Mix in the flour and baking soda.
- Allow batter to cool off slightly, for about 5-10 minutes.
- Fold in the milk chocolate chips.
- Grease or line a muffin tray and fill each tin with batter, about 3/4 full.
- Place muffin tray in a preheated oven, 350, and bake for 14-16 minutes.
- Once brownie cups are baked, remove from oven and allow to cool off for about 5 minutes.
- If brownie centers do not cave in when cooling, use a tablespoon and gently press into the middle of each cup creating a small divot.
- Microwave the peanut butter until creamy and melted.
- Pour about 1 tablespoon peanut butter into each brownie cup center. Top with additional chocolate chips if desired. Enjoy!
Notes
- Use softened butter to ensure even melting with sugar and water.
- Press brownie centers gently after baking to create wells for the peanut butter filling.
- Warm peanut butter until melted for easy filling of each brownie cup.
- Allow the filled brownie bites to cool before serving to set the peanut butter center.
