Brownie Bites with Peanut Butter Frosting

January 22, 2013 by overtimecook 51 Comments

Brownie Bites with Peanut Butter Frosting are a chocolate peanut butter lover’s dream come true! 

brownie bites 1

I recently came to an awful realization. I’ve been a horribly neglectful blogger.

I am sorry. Really, I am. But this blog is almost a year and a half old, and to date, I only have one brownie recipe posted. Two, if you count my brownie pies. But clearly that isn’t enough. I mean, is there even such a thing as “enough” brownies? I don’t think so either. 

I realized this as I was going to sleep late on Saturday night. (And if you stalk my Instagram feed, you know that was about a million o’clock, when most of you were probably near waking up.) Anyway, I rectified the situation less than 24 hours later.

And I think I made up for over a year of no brownie posts with these amazing treats. Let’s look closer, shall we?

First, I made them mini. Because we have established many times over that me and mini are like peanut butter and jelly. Or peanut butter and chocolate, as the case may be. Next, I made these super fudgy and delicious, but I also made a simple recipe that can actually be done without a mixer.

Next, I topped these brownies with peanut butter cream cheese frosting. Let’s let that sink in. Peanut. Butter. Cream. Cheese. Frosting. Because everyone knows that houses in heaven are actually made of chocolate and peanut butter molded together into delicious beauty.

Anyway, the reviews are in. Or they would be, if my tasters wouldn’t be so busy stuffing their faces with cream and grabbing for another one.

Go ahead. Make these. Then keep making them for a year. I’ll try to post some more brownies meanwhile.

  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 eggs

  2. In the bowl of an electric mixer, or in a large bowl with a whisk, beat together the butter and sugar until smooth. Add the vanilla extract and eggs, stirring well to combine after each addition. Beat until the mixture is creamy.
  3. In a small bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder and salt. Stir into wet mixture and beat to combine.
  4. Use a small cookie scoop or a half tablespoon measuring spoon to drop the brownie batter into the prepared muffin pan.
  5. Bake at 350 for 9-10 minutes, until set.
  6. Remove from oven and allow to cool for a few minutes before turning the pan over to unmold.
  7. Set brownie bites aside to cool completely before frosting them.

    I made these and they are pretty good, but two blocks of butter is a little too much for my taste.

    Hi. These did not work for me. I followed the recipe and bake all the time. They stuck to both the teflon and non-teflon pans. I used cooking spray on both. With all that butter, I’m surprised cooking spray is even needed. Made a second batch and used paper baking cups. They stuck too. Both batches had a divot in the center like they weren’t baked long enough but I already baked longer than recommended. Taste was good but not one was salvageable. I will make mini cupcakes to use the filling which is excellent.
