Buckeye Brownie Bites
Buckeye brownie bites are unlike any brownie you’ve had before! Mini brownie cups are topped with creamy peanut butter fudge balls and drizzled with chocolate for a decadent bite-sized treat.
Servings: 24 people
Equipment
- mini muffin tin (standard 24 cup)
Ingredients
- 1 (18 oz) box brownie mix prepare the batter according to box instructions
- 3/4 cups creamy peanut butter
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 2 tbsp softened butter
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350 degrees and thoroughly grease a mini muffin tin. Set aside.
- Make your brownie batter according to box instructions, then divide the batter evenly among the 24 mini muffin tin cavities (they’ll be about ½ full).
- Bake the brownies for 18-20 minutes, then let cool for 5 minutes.
- Using the handle of a wooden spoon or cooking spatula, press down to make an indentation halfway deep in the center of each brownie bite. Set aside to cool fully.
- In a medium mixing bowl combine creamy peanut butter, powdered sugar, softened butter, and vanilla extract. Mix until there is no residual powdered sugar, and the mixture is smooth.
- Roll the peanut butter mixture into 24 equal sized balls (about ½ inch in size) then lightly press them into the brownie bite indentations.
- Melt chocolate chips in the microwave in 30 second intervals or until smooth. Drizzle the melted chocolate over the buckeye bites, then let the chocolate set before removing the buckeye bites from the pan.
