✨ Snickers Brownie Bites 🍫🥜

A decadent combo of fudgy brownies, gooey caramel, and crunchy peanuts—perfect for parties or indulgent snacking!
Ingredients
For the Brownies:
- 1 box (18-20 oz) caramel-style brownie mix (+ eggs & oil as directed)
- 24 mini Snickers bars (unwrapped, chilled 15 minutes)
- 1 tbsp water (reduce from box instructions for a richer texture)
For the Toppings:
- ½ cup creamy peanut butter (natural works well)
- ¼ cup dark chocolate chips (or chopped dark chocolate)
- ¼ cup thick caramel sauce (+ 1 tbsp heavy cream if needed)
- Flaky sea salt & crushed peanuts (for garnish)
Instructions
Step 1: Prep & Preheat
1️⃣ Preheat oven to 325°F (160°C) (lower than box instructions to prevent overflow).
2️⃣ Generously grease a mini muffin tin (brownies can stick!).
Step 2: Prepare the Brownie Batter
1️⃣ Mix brownie batter as instructed on the box, but reduce water to 1 tbsp for a denser texture.
2️⃣ Fill each mini muffin cup ¾ full with batter (about 1 tbsp per cup).
Step 3: Insert the Snickers
1️⃣ Press a chilled Snickers bar into the center of each cup vertically.
2️⃣ Cover with a thin layer of batter (½ tsp per cup) to seal.
Step 4: Bake & Cool
1️⃣ Bake for 12-14 minutes, until edges are set but centers still look slightly underdone.
2️⃣ Let cool in the pan for 10 minutes (Snickers firms up as it sets).
Step 5: Make the Drizzle
1️⃣ Microwave peanut butter & chocolate in 15-second bursts, stirring in between.
2️⃣ Microwave caramel (with cream if needed) for 10 seconds until pourable.
Step 6: Drizzle & Garnish
1️⃣ Pipe peanut butter and chocolate drizzle using sandwich bags with a small corner cut.
2️⃣ Sprinkle flaky salt & crushed peanuts immediately so they stick.
3️⃣ Let set for 20 minutes before serving for the best texture!
Pro Tips for Perfection
✅ Use refrigerated Snickers—they hold their shape better while baking.
✅ Don’t overbake! The brownies firm up as they cool, keeping them fudgy inside.
✅ Customize: Swap Snickers for mini Reese’s, Rolos, or Twix for different flavors!
