Ingredients
Scale
Brownie Batter
- 1 box brownie mix (plus ingredients called for on the box, typically eggs, oil, and water)
- 1 cup Snickers bars, chopped into small pieces (about 5-6 bars)
- ½ cup chopped peanuts
Toppings
- ½ cup caramel sauce
- ½ cup chocolate chips (optional, for topping)
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease or line a mini muffin tin with paper liners to prepare for baking the brownie bites.
- Prepare Brownie Batter: Prepare the brownie mix according to the package instructions, which typically involve combining the mix with eggs, oil, and water until smooth and well blended.
- Mix Snickers: Gently fold chopped Snickers pieces and chopped peanuts into the prepared brownie batter for an even distribution of flavor and texture.
- Fill Muffin Tin: Spoon the batter into the mini muffin tin, filling each cup about two-thirds full to allow space for rising during baking.
- Bake: Place the tin in the preheated oven and bake for 10-12 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with just a few moist crumbs, indicating doneness.
- Drizzle Caramel: Once baked, remove the brownie bites from the oven and let them cool slightly. While still warm, drizzle the caramel sauce generously over each brownie bite.
- Optional Topping: If desired, melt the chocolate chips and drizzle the melted chocolate over the cooled brownie bites for added chocolate richness and visual appeal.
- Cool and Serve: Allow the brownie bites to cool completely before serving to ensure proper texture and to prevent the toppings from running.
Notes
- You can substitute Snickers bars with other caramel and nut-filled candy bars for variety.
- Be careful not to overbake to keep the brownie bites moist and fudgy.
- For easier removal, use silicone mini muffin pans or let the bites cool fully before attempting to remove them.
- The chocolate chip topping is optional but adds a nice finishing touch both in flavor and appearance.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or refrigerate for longer freshness.
