Ingredients

Scale

Brownie Batter

  • 3/4 cup sugar
  • 1/4 cup butter (softened)
  • 1 tbsp water
  • 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • 1 egg
  • 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 tsp baking soda

Mix-ins and Topping

  • 3/4 cup milk chocolate chips
  • 1/2 cup creamy peanut butter

Instructions

  1. Combine Sugar, Butter, and Water: In a microwave-safe bowl, mix the sugar, softened butter, and water. Microwave in 45-second increments until the butter has fully melted.
  2. Melt Semi-Sweet Chocolate Chips: Add the semi-sweet chocolate chips to the butter mixture and stir until melted and smooth. If not fully melted, microwave for a few additional seconds and stir again.
  3. Mix Batter: Stir the mixture thoroughly until completely combined.
  4. Add Egg and Vanilla: Incorporate the egg and vanilla extract into the chocolate mixture, mixing well.
  5. Incorporate Dry Ingredients: Mix in the all-purpose flour and baking soda until just combined.
  6. Cool Batter: Allow the batter to cool slightly for 5 to 10 minutes to prevent melting the chocolate chips added next.
  7. Fold in Milk Chocolate Chips: Gently fold the milk chocolate chips into the batter to evenly distribute.
  8. Prepare Muffin Tray and Fill Cups: Grease or line a muffin tray with paper liners, then fill each compartment about three-quarters full with the batter.
  9. Bake Brownie Bites: Place the muffin tray in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) and bake for 14 to 16 minutes until edges are set and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out with moist crumbs.
  10. Cool Brownie Bites: Remove from the oven and allow the brownie bites to cool for about 5 minutes in the pan.
  11. Create Divots: If the centers have not caved in naturally, use a tablespoon to gently press a small indentation into the center of each brownie bite while still warm.
  12. Melt Peanut Butter: Microwave the creamy peanut butter until it becomes smooth and pourable, about 20-30 seconds.
  13. Fill Centers and Serve: Spoon about 1 tablespoon of melted peanut butter into each brownie center. Optionally, top with extra chocolate chips for added indulgence. Enjoy!

Notes

  • Ensure the batter cools slightly before folding in chocolate chips to avoid melting.
  • The divot in the center helps hold the peanut butter filling securely inside the brownie bites.
  • Use creamy peanut butter for a smooth filling consistency.
  • Don’t overbake to maintain fudgy texture.
  • These brownie bites can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or refrigerated for up to a week.
