Ingredients
Scale
- 1 box brownie mix
- 24 pieces mini snickers bars
- ½ cup (120 milliliters/4 fl oz) creamy peanut butter
- ¼ cup (60 milliliters/2 fl oz) chocolate chips
- ¼ cup (60 milliliters/2 fl oz) caramel sauce
- 1 pinch sea salt
Instructions
- Preparation: Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and combine brownie mix ingredients in a bowl, creating a smooth, rich chocolate base.
- Filling: Carefully dispense the brownie batter into mini muffin tins, filling each cavity halfway and strategically embedding a miniature Snickers bar in the center, allowing it to nestle just beneath the surface.
- Baking: Transfer the muffin tin to the preheated oven and bake for 15-20 minutes, monitoring closely to achieve a perfectly moist and tender texture without overcooking.
- Cooling: Remove the brownie bites from the oven and transfer to a wire rack, allowing them to cool completely and solidify their decadent structure.
- Topping: Melt chocolate chips and peanut butter in the microwave, stirring until the mixture becomes a glossy, smooth drizzle. Generously coat the cooled brownie bites with the chocolate-peanut butter blend.
- Finishing: Cascade caramel sauce across the topped bites and sprinkle a delicate touch of sea salt to elevate the flavor profile. Serve immediately or store in an airtight container to maintain optimal taste and texture.
Notes
- Prevent Overflow: Fill muffin cups only halfway to avoid messy baking and ensure perfectly shaped brownie bites.
- Handle Snickers Carefully: Gently press candy bars into batter, allowing them to sink slightly for a molten chocolate center surprise.
- Monitor Baking Time: Watch brownies closely between 15-20 minutes to maintain a soft, fudgy texture without drying out.
- Perfect Topping Technique: Melt chocolate and peanut butter slowly, stirring until glossy for a smooth, even drizzle that enhances flavor complexity.
