Preparation

Step 1

In a small saucepan, melt butter over medium heat, whisking until butter foams and begins to brown (2-3 minutes).

Remove pan from heat and pour butter into a large mixing bowl. Beat in brown sugar and extract until well-combined. Beat in eggs until dough is creamy.

With the mixer on low, beat in baking soda, baking powder, salt, and flour.

Freeze batter in the freezer for 30 minutes. Preheat oven to 350F.

Coat a mini-muffin tin with cooking spray. Press small balls of dough into the bottom of each cup, spreading to cover the bottom of the cup. Press a Snickers piece into the dough in each cup. Top candy with remaining dough to cover.

Bake for 10-12 minutes, until puffed and light brown. Cook for 5 minutes before removing from tin and placing on a wire rack to cool completely. Melt chocolate and drizzle on top of each cup, if desired.

*Note: dough is tough to work with as it gets warm. Return to freezer if needed or work fast!
