Ingredients
Scale
Brownie Base
- 1 box brownie mix (plus ingredients called for on the box, typically eggs, oil, and water)
Mix-ins and Toppings
- 1 cup Snickers bars, chopped into small pieces (about 5-6 bars)
- ½ cup caramel sauce
- ½ cup chopped peanuts
- 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 prevent sticking and make removal easier.
- Prepare Brownie Batter: Prepare the brownie mix according to the package instructions, which usually involves mixing it with eggs, oil, and water until smooth.
- Mix Snickers: Stir chopped Snickers bars and chopped peanuts into the prepared brownie batter evenly, to distribute the flavors in every bite.
- Fill Muffin Tin: Spoon the brownie batter into the mini muffin tin cups, filling each about 2/3 full to allow room for rising.
- Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with just a few moist crumbs, indicating the bites are perfectly fudgy.
- Drizzle Caramel: Remove the brownie bites from the oven and allow them to cool slightly. While still warm, drizzle caramel sauce generously over the top to add a sweet, gooey element.
- Optional Topping: If you like, melt the chocolate chips and drizzle the melted chocolate over the cooled brownie bites for an extra chocolatey finish.
- Cool and Serve: Allow the brownie bites to cool completely before serving to set the toppings and ensure easy handling.
Notes
- You can substitute regular peanuts with salted or honey-roasted peanuts for added flavor.
- For a nut-free version, omit peanuts or use seeds like sunflower seeds.
- If you prefer, use caramel sauce from a jar or make your own homemade caramel sauce.
- Chocolate chips can be skipped or substituted with white chocolate chips for variation.
- 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.
