Snickers Brownie Bites Recipe

Introduction

These Snickers Brownie Bites are a delightful treat combining rich chocolate, creamy peanut butter frosting, and a caramel-peanut topping. Perfectly bite-sized and irresistibly delicious, they’re great for parties or an indulgent snack.

Ingredients

• 1 cup butter (melted)
• 2 1/2 cups granulated sugar
• 1 tbsp vanilla
• 4 eggs
• 1 1/2 cups flour (whole wheat or all-purpose)
• 1 cup cocoa
• 1 tsp salt
• 1/2 cup peanut butter
• 1/4 cup butter
• 1 1/2 cups powdered icing sugar
• 1/4 cup cream
• Caramel sauce
• Chopped salted peanuts

Instructions

1. Step 1: Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a mini muffin pan with paper liners or spray with non-stick spray, then set aside.
2. Step 2: In a large bowl, whisk together the melted butter and granulated sugar until smooth. Add vanilla and eggs, whisking again until fully combined.
3. Step 3: Add the flour, cocoa, and salt to the wet mixture. Whisk gently until just combined, being careful not to overmix. Spoon the batter evenly into the prepared mini muffin pan.
4. Step 4: Bake for 13-15 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out dry or with moist crumbs. Remove from oven and let cool. You can store them at room temperature or freeze until ready to frost.
5. Step 5: For the frosting, beat peanut butter and butter in a mixer until smooth. Gradually add powdered icing sugar and beat until combined. Add cream one tablespoon at a time, beating after each addition, until the frosting reaches your preferred consistency.
6. Step 6: Transfer frosting to a piping bag or use a spoon to spread a small amount on each brownie bite.
7. Step 7: Drizzle caramel sauce over the frosted brownies and sprinkle with chopped salted peanuts for that classic Snickers finish.

Tips & Variations

• Use whole wheat flour for a nuttier flavor and slightly denser texture, or all-purpose flour for a classic brownie.
• Try substituting the salted peanuts with chopped almonds or pecans for a different crunch.
• If you prefer a sweeter frosting, add a little more powdered sugar or a touch of honey.
• For easier handling, chill the frosting briefly before piping or spreading.

Storage

Store Snickers Brownie Bites in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. For longer storage, freeze them for up to 1 month; thaw in the refrigerator before serving. Reheat briefly at room temperature if the caramel firms up.

Ingredients

Scale 1x2x3x

Brownies

• 1 cup butter, melted
• 2 1/2 cups granulated sugar
• 1 tbsp vanilla extract
• 4 eggs
• 1 1/2 cups all-purpose or whole wheat flour
• 1 cup cocoa powder
• 1 tsp salt

Peanut Butter Frosting

• 1/2 cup peanut butter
• 1/4 cup butter
• 1 1/2 cups powdered icing sugar
• 1/4 cup cream

Toppings

• Caramel sauce
• Chopped salted peanuts

Instructions

1. Prepare Brownie Batter: Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a mini muffin pan with paper liners or spray with non-stick spray. In a large bowl, whisk together melted butter and sugar until smooth. Add vanilla extract and eggs, whisking until fully combined. Gently fold in flour, cocoa powder, and salt until just combined to avoid overmixing.
2. Bake Brownies: Spoon the batter evenly into the prepared mini muffin pan. Bake in the preheated oven for 13-15 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with moist crumbs but no raw batter. Remove from oven and let cool completely before frosting. Brownies can be stored at room temperature or frozen until ready to frost.
3. Make Peanut Butter Frosting: Using a stand mixer or handheld mixer, beat peanut butter and butter together until smooth and creamy. Gradually add powdered icing sugar and beat until combined. Slowly add the cream, one tablespoon at a time, mixing after each addition until the frosting reaches a smooth piping consistency.
4. Assemble Brownie Bites: Fill a piping bag fitted with your preferred tip or use a large Ziploc bag with the corner cut off to pipe a small amount of peanut butter frosting onto each cooled brownie bite. Drizzle caramel sauce generously over each frosting-topped brownie and sprinkle with chopped salted peanuts for crunch and flavor.
5. Storage: Store assembled brownie bites in the refrigerator for up to 4 days or freeze them for up to 1 month. Thaw before serving if frozen.

Notes

• You can use either all-purpose or whole wheat flour for the brownies depending on your preference.
• If you don’t have a piping bag, you can simply use a spoon to top the brownies with frosting.
• Make sure to not overbake the brownies to maintain their fudgy texture.
• Caramel sauce can be store-bought or homemade for added flavor.
• Store brownie bites chilled to keep the frosting firm and fresh.
