Peanut Butter Brownie Bites
- FOR THE BROWNIES:
- 1/2 cups Unsalted Butter, melted
- 1 cup Sugar
- 3/4 cups Unsweetened Cocoa Powder
- 1/4 teaspoons Salt
- 1/4 teaspoons Vanilla Extract
- 2 Large Eggs
- 1/2 cups Flour
- 2 Tablespoons Toffee Bits
- FOR THE BUTTERCREAM:
- 1/4 cups Unsalted Butter, Softened
- 1/4 cups Creamy Peanut Butter
- 1-1/2 cup Powdered Sugar
- 1/4 teaspoons Vanilla Extract
- 1/2 Tablespoons Low Fat Milk
- Preheat oven to 325u0b0F and spray two 12-cup mini muffin pans with nonstick spray. Set aside.
- Place melted butter, sugar, cocoa powder and salt in a large bowl and stir the mixture until combined. The texture will appear granular at this point. Stir in vanilla. Then add eggs one at a time, stirring well after each one. When the batter is thick and shiny, add the flour and stir until completely incorporated, then beat briskly for 40 more strokes.
- Fill each muffin cup with a slightly rounded tablespoon of batter. Then sprinkle 1/4 teaspoon of toffee bits over each brownie. Bake for 12 to 14 minutes, until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out with a few moist crumbs attached. Then remove from the oven and cool bites completely in the pans on a wire rack. Then chill in the refrigerator 1 hour. Use an offset spatula to pop bites out of pan.
- To make the buttercream, beat butter and peanut butter in a large mixer bowl on medium speed until light and fluffy. Reduce speed to low, then gradually add powdered sugar and beat until smooth. Add vanilla and milk; beat on medium speed until airy.
- Fit a pastry bag with a round tip and put the buttercream into the bag. Pipe a spiral of buttercream onto the top of each brownie bite.
- Store leftover bites in an airtight container at room temperature up to 2 days.
