Peanut Butter Brownie Bites are a delicious mini treat, perfect for get togethers or any holiday season. These chewy brownies are filled with a creamy peanut butter sauce that is heaven in a tiny bite!

Yesterday was Sweetest Day – do you celebrate/acknowledge it? I think I read once that it’s a Hallmark holiday only celebrated in the Midwest. So maybe you’ve never even heard of it. It’s something like Valentine’s Day.

I wasn’t sure what to make but then I remembered I could stalk her Pinterest boards and see what she had her eye on.

Below is a list of the ingredients you’ll need to gather to make this recipe.Scroll all the way down for the full recipe card.

Mix up your favorite brownie mix according to the package instructions, or make them from scratch, then evenly distribute the batter amongst the 24 wells (use a mini cookie scoop to make it easy!).

Once the brownie bites come out of the oven, gently indent each brownie with the back of a teaspoon or your thumb (they don’t have to be pretty, you’re going to fill them with peanut butter) to make a well for the peanut butter sauce.

Put the peanut butter in a microwave safe bowl and heat for 45 seconds then give it a stir. The peanut butter should be thin & runny.

Spoon about a teaspoon of the melty peanut butter into each brownie and sprinkle with mini chocolate chips and peanut butter chips.

I’ve been on quite the brownie and chocolate and peanut butter kick lately. It’s counterproductive to my gym efforts but oh so good. I need to start making some dinners, preferably some healthy ones.

I planned on making the brownie portion of these from scratch but I ran short on time (read: I spent too much time wandering around ULTA) so I used a Ghirardelli Double Chocolate box mix.

I made a fun group on Facebook for sharing recipes, asking questions, and talking about food. I’d love to have you! Request to join HERE.

Every time I make brownies, there’s an argument. EVERYONE wants a corner piece, and, well, we have more people than corners around here. When it comes to cake I definitely want a center piece, but it’s hard to beat the chewy edges on a brownie, right? That’s what makes brownie bites so fantastic: every single one has a beautifully chewy outer edge AND a perfectly fudgy middle. And to make things even better, we’re adding peanut butter cups to the center.

These guys start with a boxed brownie mix, which means you can have them in the oven in under 5 minutes. I’m all for making things from scratch, but seriously, a boxed mix turns out beautifully here AND it means you don’t have to measure many ingredients.

The first thing we should talk about here is a brownie bites pan, aka a mini muffin pan. You might not have one of these pans yet, but it’s worth getting one since you can make so many things in it. Mini muffins, energy bites, baked egg bites, cookie cups, and more. Honestly, it’s worth getting one just to make brownie bites, especially if you plan to stuff them with peanut butter cups!

If you’re looking to purchase a mini muffin pan, you have two options: metal or silicone. I have metal pans similar to this one , and I love them! In fact, I’m thinking about getting this giant one that allows you to make 48 mini muffins or brownie bites at once. I think brownies ALWAYS cook best in metal baking pans. I don’t know why, but they do. And as long as you use a nonstick spray that contains flour (more about this below), your brownie bites will release easily without leaving pieces behind.

The other option is silicone pans. I know some people love silicone pans, and I love the idea of them, but in practice I just don’t think they work as well, especially for brownie bites. I tested brownie bites with this silicone pan . The brownie bites took much longer to bake in the silicone pan and even once cooled they were – get this – MUCH HARDER to get out! I think silicone pans work better for muffins or cake, but they just don’t seem to do well with brownie bites.

First, don’t forget to use a good non-stick baking spray that has flour in it on your mini muffin tin. I swear by Baker’s Joy spray. It’s miraculous. You can find this with all the other nonstick sprays in the baking aisle, but it has flour added to it, which does wonders for getting baked good to release from the pan. I spray each depression individually before adding the batter.

Next, DO NOT overfill the mini muffin tins. It’s tempting to do so, but don’t do it! You really don’t want the brownies to overflow the cups as they are baking, so only fill them 2/3 of the way full. Mini muffin tin sizes vary, but in my tin that meant just over 1 tablespoon of batter in each well.  I used my 1.5 tablespoon cookie scoop and didn’t fill it up all the way.

Third, unwrap your miniature Reese’s cups while the brownie bites are baking, so you’ll be ready to press one into each bite right after they come out of the oven.

Fourth, tempting as it may be, don’t try to take the brownie bites out of the pan until they are cool. You’ll just end up smooshing them, and no one likes that. It will take about 2 hours on the counter for them to be cool enough to remove from the pan (you could speed this up by putting them in the fridge). Then once it’s time to remove them from the pan, don’t try to pick them straight up. Grab the upper edges and ROTATE each brownie bite first. That will ensure the brownie doesn’t break apart when you try to pick it up out of the pan.

ONE LAST TIP: If your pan only has 24 depressions, you will end up with some brownie batter left over. Either pour it into another small pan and bake it along side the brownie bites OR pour it into a mug and microwave it for about a minute for a quick microwave brownie!

If you like chocolate and peanut butter and love brownies, you will fall head over heels for Peanut Butter Brownie Bites! They start with a fudgy brownie base, then add a soft, rich, and smooth peanut butter filling, and a rich, milk chocolate ganache tops everything off.

These treats are rich, but they’re small, so it doesn’t feel like an overly heavy treat. They’re the perfect dessert to serve to a crowd, to bring to an event, or to serve at a dessert/cookie exchange party. These Peanut Butter Brownie Bites transport well, store nicely, and best of all, they’re totally delicious!
