Snickers Brownie Bites

By mamacasma

These little chocolate muffins pack a sweet surprise: Inside each one rests a mini Snickers bar. Heated up, it becomes gooey and irresistible—especially with the addition of mini M&M’s on top.

Ingredients

• 1 stick (1/2 cup) butter
• 4 oz. unsweetened baking chocolate
• 1 1/3 cups sugar
• 3 large eggs
• 1/2 tsp. vanilla extract
• 3/4 cup all-purpose flour
• 1 bag (13 oz) Snickers Mini candy bars
• 1/4 cup M&M's mini baking bits

Preparation

Step 1

1. Heat oven to 350°F. Line miniature muffin pan(s) with paper liners. (Cups measure 1 1/4 in. across bottom.)

2. Melt butter and chocolate in a medium saucepan over low heat or in a large bowl in microwave. Stir to blend well.

3. Whisk in sugar, eggs and vanilla until combined. Stir in flour just until blended.

4. Spoon 1 measuring tablespoon batter into each muffin cup. Press in a Snickers bar almost flush with surface; sprinkle with 4 or 5 baking bits.

5. Bake 16 to 18 minutes until risen and tops look dry and shiny (some may have caramel flow). Cool in pan on a wire rack 5 minutes; remove from pan, using tip of a knife if needed, to rack to cool completely. Repeat with remaining batter.
