These Snickers Brownie Bites combine rich, fudgy brownies with gooey caramel, salted peanuts, and miniature Snickers bars to create an irresistible bite-sized treat perfect for parties or snacking.

Ingredients

Scale

For the Brownies

  • 4 ounces unsweetened chocolate, coarsely chopped
  • 3/4 cup unsalted butter, cut into cubes
  • 1 1/4 cups sugar
  • 3 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup Gold Medal all-purpose flour
  • 48 miniature Snickers, frozen for at least 1 hour

For the Topping

  • 15 individually wrapped caramel candies (Kraft recommended)
  • 2 tablespoons heavy cream
  • 1/2 cup salted peanuts

Instructions

  1. Preheat and prepare pan: Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Lightly spray a nonstick miniature muffin tin with a flour-based nonstick cooking spray such as Pam with Flour to ensure the brownie bites release easily after baking.
  2. Melt chocolate and butter: In a large microwave-safe bowl, microwave the coarsely chopped unsweetened chocolate and cubed butter at medium (50% power) for 3 to 4 minutes or until the butter has melted. Stir the mixture until the chocolate is also fully melted and smooth.
  3. Mix batter: Whisk in the sugar, eggs, pure vanilla extract, and salt into the melted chocolate and butter mixture until well combined. Gradually fold in the all-purpose flour, stirring just until the batter is combined and no flour pockets remain.
  4. Fill muffin wells and add Snickers: Using a small cookie scoop (about 2 teaspoons), scoop brownie batter into each well of the prepared miniature muffin tin. Place one frozen miniature Snickers bar into the center of each batter-filled well and press it lightly into the batter; it does not need to be fully covered by the batter.
  5. Bake the brownie bites: Bake in the preheated oven for 9 to 10 minutes. The edges will look set but the centers might appear slightly soft—do not overbake to maintain fudgy texture.
  6. Cool and remove: Once done, transfer the muffin tin to a cooling rack and let the brownie bites cool completely before carefully removing them from the pan to prevent breaking.
  7. Prepare caramel sauce: In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the individually wrapped caramel candies and heavy cream. Microwave at 50% power in 30-second increments, stirring frequently, until the caramels soften and melt into a smooth, creamy sauce.
  8. Assemble toppings: Place a few salted peanuts in the center of each cooled brownie bite. Drizzle the warm caramel sauce over the peanuts and brownie bites just before serving.

Notes

  • Freezing the miniature Snickers prior to baking ensures they maintain shape and don’t melt excessively into the batter.
  • Using a flour-based nonstick spray helps the brownie bites to come out cleanly from the miniature muffin tin.
  • Be careful not to overbake; brownie edges should be just set but centers still soft to keep them fudgy.
  • Use small cookie scoops for even-sized brownie bites and easy filling.
  • Microwaving caramels at 50% power prevents burning and helps achieve a smooth caramel sauce.
