Ingredients

Scale

Peanut Butter Balls

  • 1/2 cup peanut butter
  • 2 tablespoons butter (softened)
  • 3/4 cup powdered sugar

Brownie Bites

  • 1/2 cup vegetable oil
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/3 cup cocoa powder
  • 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon baking powder

Chocolate Drizzle

  • 3 tablespoons butter (melted)
  • 3 tablespoons cocoa powder
  • 1 tablespoon corn syrup or honey
  • 1/2 cup powdered sugar
  • 1–2 tablespoons milk or cream

Instructions

  1. Prepare Peanut Butter Balls: In a mixing bowl, beat together 1/2 cup peanut butter, 2 tablespoons softened butter, and 3/4 cup powdered sugar until the mixture is smooth. Adjust texture by adding more peanut butter if too dry or more powdered sugar if too sticky. Roll the mixture into 3/4 inch balls, making about 36. Set aside.
  2. Make Brownie Batter: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease three mini muffin pans thoroughly. In a separate bowl, whisk together 1/2 cup vegetable oil, 1 cup granulated sugar, 2 eggs, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract until well combined. Beat in 1/3 cup cocoa powder, 1/2 cup all-purpose flour, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon baking powder until the batter is smooth.
  3. Fill Muffin Pans: Divide the brownie batter evenly into the prepared mini muffin tins, filling each about two-thirds full (enough for 36 brownie bites).
  4. Bake Brownie Bites: Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the brownies comes out with just a few moist crumbs. Remove from the oven immediately and press one peanut butter ball gently into the center of each warm brownie bite.
  5. Cool Brownies: Allow the brownie bites to cool in the pans for several minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
  6. Prepare Chocolate Drizzle: In a microwave-safe bowl, combine 3 tablespoons melted butter, 3 tablespoons cocoa powder, 1 tablespoon corn syrup or honey, 1/2 cup powdered sugar, and 1 to 2 tablespoons milk or cream. Microwave for about 20 seconds, then stir well until smooth.
  7. Drizzle and Set: Drizzle the warm chocolate glaze over the cooled brownie bites. Let the glaze set as it cools before serving for the perfect finishing touch.

Notes

  • If the peanut butter mixture is too dry, add more peanut butter a teaspoon at a time.
  • For a sweeter glaze, adjust powdered sugar to taste.
  • Use mini muffin pans to ensure perfect bite-sized portions.
  • Store brownie bites in an airtight container at room temperature for up to three days or refrigerate for up to a week.
  • Allow glaze to fully set before stacking or packing for transport.
