Brownies. Peanut Butter. Frosting.
Are you convinced yet that you have to make these?
With Valentine’s Day coming up I was thinking of a few of my favorite couples. Food couples that is…
Mac and cheese
burger and fries
milk and cookies
bacon and eggs
pancakes and syrup
spaghetti and meatballs
But my favorite couple of all time…peanut butter and chocolate.
Ingredients
- 1 boxed brownie mix (I think chocolate cupcakes would be yummy too)
- 1 cup Reeses Peanut Butter chips (optional)
- 1/2 cup butter, softened
- 1 cup creamy peanut butter
- 3 tablespoons milk, or as needed
- 2 cups confectioners' sugar
Brownie Bites:
Peanut Butter Frosting
Instructions
- Make brownie mix according to package directions. Add peanut butter chips if desired. Pour into paper lined mini muffin pans filling each cup about 3/4 full. Bake 14-18 minutes at 350 degrees or until toothpick comes out clean. Cool.
- For the frosting: Place the butter and peanut butter into a medium bowl, and beat with an electric mixer. Gradually mix in the sugar, and when it starts to get thick, incorporate milk one tablespoon at a time until all of the sugar is mixed in and the frosting is thick and spreadable. Beat for at least 3 minutes for it to get good and fluffy. Frost brownie bites with frosting. Pipe the frosting with a star tip if you are feeling fancy!
