Ingredients
Scale
- 1/2 cup peanut butter
- 2 tbsp butter, softened
- 3/4 cup powdered sugar
- 1/2 cup vegetable oil
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 2 eggs
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/3 cup cocoa powder
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1/4 tsp baking powder
- 3 tbsp butter, melted
- 3 tbsp cocoa powder
- 1 tbsp corn syrup or honey
- 1/2 cup powdered sugar
- 1–2 tbsp milk or cream
Instructions
- Prepare the Peanut Butter Balls: In a medium bowl, beat together the peanut butter, softened butter, and powdered sugar until smooth. Roll into 3/4-inch balls, making about 36. Set aside.
- Make the Brownie Bites: Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease 3 mini muffin pans or 36 mini muffin cups. In a large bowl, whisk together the oil, granulated sugar, eggs, and vanilla extract. Add cocoa powder, flour, salt, and baking powder. Stir until well combined. Fill each muffin cup 2/3 full with brownie batter.
- Bake for 15-20 minutes or until a toothpick inserted comes out with a few crumbs. Remove from oven and immediately press a peanut butter ball into each brownie bite.
- Let them cool in the pan for a few minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Make the Chocolate Drizzle: In a microwave-safe bowl, combine melted butter, cocoa powder, corn syrup (or honey), powdered sugar, and milk or cream. Stir well and microwave for 20 seconds. Stir until smooth.
- Drizzle the warm chocolate glaze over the cooled brownie bites. Allow the glaze to set before serving.
