Snickers Brownie Bites Recipe

If you’re a fan of chocolate, caramel, and peanuts, these Snickers Brownie Bites are about to become your new favorite treat! The perfect combination of gooey brownie, rich peanut butter, and the iconic Snickers bar makes these bites an irresistible snack or dessert.

Ingredients:

• 1 box brownie mix (plus ingredients required by the mix, usually eggs, oil, and water)
• 24 mini Snickers bars
• 1/2 cup creamy peanut butter
• 1/4 cup chocolate chips
• 1/4 cup caramel sauce
• Sea salt, for sprinkling

Directions:

1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Prepare a mini muffin tin by lightly greasing it or lining it with mini cupcake liners.
2. Prepare Brownie Batter: Follow the instructions on the brownie mix box to prepare the batter.
3. Fill Muffin Tin: Spoon the brownie batter into the mini muffin tin, filling each cup about halfway.
4. Add Snickers: Press a mini Snickers bar into the center of each filled cup.
5. Bake: Place the muffin tin in the oven and bake for 15-20 minutes. The brownies should be cooked through but still soft in the center. Allow them to cool in the tin for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
6. Make Peanut Butter Drizzle: In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the peanut butter and chocolate chips. Microwave for 30 seconds, then stir until smooth. If necessary, microwave in 10-second intervals until fully melted and combined.
7. Drizzle and Garnish: Drizzle the melted peanut butter-chocolate mixture and caramel sauce over the cooled brownie bites. Sprinkle a pinch of sea salt over each bite for a perfect balance of flavors.
8. Serve: Allow the toppings to set slightly before serving.

FAQs for Snickers Brownie Bites

1. Can I use homemade brownie batter instead of a boxed mix?
Absolutely! If you prefer to make your brownies from scratch, you can use your favorite homemade brownie recipe. Just ensure the batter is thick enough to hold a Snickers bar in the center.

2. Can I substitute the mini Snickers bars with another candy?
Yes, you can substitute mini Snickers with other candy bars like Milky Way, Twix, or even Reese’s. Choose a candy that has a similar size and complements the brownie flavors.

3. How should I store the Snickers Brownie Bites?
Store the brownie bites in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days. If you want them to last longer, you can refrigerate them for up to a week. Bring them to room temperature before serving for the best taste.

4. Can I freeze these brownie bites?
Yes, these brownie bites freeze well. Place them in an airtight container or a freezer bag and freeze for up to 3 months. To enjoy, let them thaw at room temperature or warm them slightly in the microwave.

5. How can I make the drizzle topping smoother?
If your peanut butter-chocolate mixture is too thick, you can add a splash of milk or a small amount of coconut oil to thin it out. Stir well to achieve a smooth consistency.

6. What other toppings can I use?
You can get creative with the toppings! Try adding crushed peanuts, sprinkles, or a drizzle of white chocolate for variety.

7. Can I make these gluten-free?
Yes, you can use a gluten-free brownie mix and ensure that the Snickers bars or any substitute candy you use are gluten-free. Always check the labels to confirm.

8. What if I don’t have mini muffin tins?
If you don’t have mini muffin tins, you can use regular muffin tins and adjust the baking time accordingly. Be aware that you may need more batter per muffin, and the bites will be larger.

9. Can I use chunky peanut butter?
Yes, chunky peanut butter can be used if you prefer a bit of texture in your drizzle. It will add a slight crunch to the topping.

10. Can I omit the sea salt?
Sea salt is optional, but it enhances the sweet and salty flavor combination. If you prefer a purely sweet treat, you can omit it.

These Snickers Brownie Bites are easy to make, yet they look and taste like a gourmet treat. Perfect for parties, snacks, or just a sweet indulgence at home. Enjoy!
