Ingredients

Scale 1x2x3x

Brownie Base

• 1 (18 oz) box brownie mix (prepared according to box instructions)

Fillings and Toppings

• 24 Snickers minis (1 (9.2 oz) bag)
• 1/2 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
• 1/4 cup creamy peanut butter
• 1/4 cup chopped peanuts

Instructions

1. Preheat and Prepare Pan: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 24-cup mini muffin tin with non-stick cooking spray to ensure easy removal of brownie bites after baking.
2. Prepare Brownie Batter: Follow the directions on the brownie mix box to prepare the batter. Once ready, evenly divide the batter among each greased mini muffin tin cup, filling them appropriately.
3. Bake Brownies: Bake the filled muffin tin in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes until the brownie bites are set and a toothpick inserted near the center comes out with moist crumbs.
4. Add Snickers Minis: Immediately after removing the brownies from the oven, press one Snickers mini into the center of each brownie bite, gently pushing it down without breaking the brownie.
5. Make Chocolate-Peanut Butter Topping: In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the semi-sweet chocolate chips and creamy peanut butter. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring well between each interval, until the mixture is smooth and fully melted.
6. Top Brownie Bites: Spoon about 1 teaspoon of the melted chocolate and peanut butter mixture over each brownie bite, covering the Snickers partially. Then sprinkle the tops with chopped peanuts for added texture and flavor.
7. Set and Serve: Allow the brownie bites to cool completely in the pan so the topping sets firmly. Once set, carefully remove them from the tin and serve.

Notes

• You can substitute Snickers minis with other candy bars if desired.
• Ensure the peanut butter and chocolate mixture is smooth for easy spooning.
• These bites can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or refrigerated for longer freshness.
• Use a toothpick to test brownies for doneness but avoid overbaking to keep them fudgy.
• Allow toppings to fully set before handling to prevent smudging or melting.
