A mini peanut butter cup is pressed inside a brownie for a wonderful burst of chocolate and peanut butter flavor.

Ingredients

  • Box of Brownie Mix– plus the ingredients needed to make the box of brownies. (So technically it is not a 2-ingredient recipe. You will also need eggs and oil, but most likely you already have those.)
  • Mini Peanut Butter Cups

You will also need a mini muffin pan and liners for this recipe. Foil liners work better than paper liners.

Recipe Tips

  • You want to fill each muffin liner almost but not quite to the top.
  • Be careful not to overbake. You want them fudgy and not dry.
  • Be sure to let the brownies cool for 5 minutes before adding the peanut butter cups.

Variations

To change up the flavor, use a different candy. You can use Rolos, mini Snickers, or Hershey Kisses for this recipe. Add sprinkles on top for decoration to make them look festive.

How To Serve

These Brownie Bites make a great sweet addition to a dessert board along with fresh fruit, nuts, and pretzels. Or you can serve them warm with a little vanilla ice cream.

Storage

Can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for 4 to 5 days or frozen for up to 2 months.
