Directions

Variations

• You can swap out the chocolate chips for chopped Reese’s pieces for an extra peanut butter punch.

Storage/Reheating

FAQs

1. Can I use chunky peanut butter instead of creamy?

Yes, chunky peanut butter will work, but it may alter the smooth texture of the center.

2. How do I know when the brownie bites are done?

They should be firm on the edges and slightly soft in the center. A toothpick inserted into the side should come out with a few crumbs.

3. Can I freeze these brownie bites?

Yes, they freeze well for up to 3 months. Just be sure to let them cool completely before freezing.

4. What should I do if the peanut butter doesn’t melt properly?

Heat it in 15-second intervals in the microwave, stirring between each interval, until it becomes smooth and creamy.

5. How can I make these less sweet?

You can reduce the amount of sugar in the brownie batter or opt for a dark chocolate peanut butter filling for a less sweet option.

6. Can I make this recipe without eggs?

Yes, you can substitute the egg with a flaxseed egg or an egg replacer if you’re vegan or allergic to eggs.

7. What is the best way to store these brownie bites?

Keep them in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 5 days, or freeze them for up to 3 months.

8. Can I use a different type of nut butter?

Yes, you can substitute peanut butter with almond butter or cashew butter, though it will change the flavor.

9. Can I make these ahead of time for a party?

Yes, these are great for making ahead. You can bake them and store them in the fridge or freeze them until you’re ready to serve.

10. Are these brownie bites gluten-free?

No, this recipe contains all-purpose flour, so it is not gluten-free. You can substitute a gluten-free flour blend if needed.
