These delicious brownie bites are packed with peanut butter flavor and come together quickly using a boxed brownie mix.

2 (15 oz) packages brownie mix (any brand)

2 eggs

6 tablespoons vegetable oil

1/2 cup creamy peanut butter

2 tablespoons butter, softened

3/4 cup powdered sugar

1 cup chocolate chips (dark or semi-sweet)

Equipment:

Mini muffin pan

Mini muffin liners (optional)

Stand or hand mixer

Mixing bowl

Spoon

Fork (optional)

Microwave-safe bowl (optional)

Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a mini muffin pan or line with mini muffin liners.

Make the brownie batter: Follow the instructions on the brownie mix package to prepare the batter, using the specified amount of eggs and oil.

Pour batter: Divide the batter evenly among the prepared muffin cups, filling them about halfway full.

Bake brownies: Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with moist crumbs.

Make peanut butter filling: While the brownies are baking, cream together the peanut butter, softened butter, and powdered sugar in a mixing bowl using a mixer until smooth. Roll the peanut butter mixture into small balls.

Assemble: Once the brownies are baked, immediately press a peanut butter ball into the center of each warm brownie. Let the brownies cool slightly in the pan for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Optional chocolate drizzle: If desired, melt the chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl in 30-second intervals, stirring after each interval, until smooth and melted. Drizzle the melted chocolate over the cooled brownie bites using a fork.

Chill and enjoy: For a firmer chocolate drizzle, refrigerate the brownie bites until the chocolate has set. Enjoy!
