Description
Fudgy brownie bites wrapped around creamy peanut butter centers and dipped in glossy chocolate, delivering a sweet, salty, and irresistibly rich treat in every bite.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup packed brown sugar
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/4 teaspoon fine salt
- 3/4 cup creamy peanut butter
- 1/2 cup powdered sugar
- 2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips, melted for coating
Instructions
- Preheat Your Equipment: Heat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Line an 8×8 inch baking pan with parchment paper, leaving overhang for easy removal.
- Combine Ingredients: In a mixing bowl, whisk together flour, cocoa powder, granulated sugar, brown sugar, melted butter, eggs, vanilla, and salt until a thick, smooth batter forms.
- Prepare Your Cooking Vessel: Pour the batter into the prepared pan and spread it into an even layer.
- Assemble the Dish: Bake for 20 to 25 minutes until the edges are set and the center is slightly underbaked. Cool completely, then crumble the brownies into a bowl and press together until dough-like. In another bowl, mix peanut butter with powdered sugar, then roll into small 1 teaspoon balls.
- Cook to Perfection: Scoop about 1 tablespoon of brownie dough, flatten slightly, and wrap it around a peanut butter ball, sealing completely to form a smooth sphere.
- Finishing Touches: Melt the chocolate chips in short microwave bursts or over a double boiler until smooth. Dip each bomb, let excess drip off, and place on a parchment-lined tray.
- Serve and Enjoy: Chill until the chocolate sets, then serve as rich, bite-size treats.
Notes
- Chill the peanut butter balls for 15 minutes before wrapping to keep their shape.
- Do not overbake the brownies, slightly underbaked crumbs stay fudgy and pliable.
- For a thinner coating, stir 1 teaspoon neutral oil into the melted chocolate.
- Top with flaky sea salt or crushed peanuts before the coating sets for extra flair.
