I always love baking with my Mom and this recipe that we tried out last week was a huge hit!! The aroma of these tasty brownie bites alone is worth making them, but the classic taste of peanut butter and chocolate is absolutely phenomenal! It's a treat that kids and adults both love!
Peanut Butter Cup Brownie Bites
4 ounces unsweetened chocolate
3/4 cup (1 1/2 sticks) butter
1 3/4cups sugar
3 eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 cup flour
about 40 mini Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups, unwrapped
Preheat oven to 350°F. Line a mini-muffin tin with paper cups.
In a sauce pan on the stove melt the butter and chocolate together. Take the pan off the heat and stir in sugar. Blend in eggs and vanilla. Add flour and salt; mix well.
Scoop or pipe batter into the cups, until about 2/3 full. Press a mini peanut butter cup into each brownie.
Bake for 13-15 minutes. You can’t really test these since there’s a peanut butter cup in the middle, but I take them out once the brownie looks set around the edges. Cool on a cooling rack.
*Note: These can also be made in a 9x13 pan and the baking time will increase to 25-30 minutes. You can be sure they are close to being done when you can smell them from your oven.
