• Salt
• Oil
• Sugar
• Eggs
• Vanilla

Begin by making the from-scratch brownie batter. In a medium mixing bowl, combine the cocoa, flour, baking powder, and salt together in a bowl and stir well. Whisk in the oil and sugar together. Add eggs and vanilla and continue whisking.

Stir in dry ingredients, and stir until combined. Divide batter between 18-20 mini muffins in the tin. Prepare a mini muffin pan with cooking spray and bake for 12 minutes. If you’re using pre-made brownies, follow the brownie recipe on the box:) Remove the brownie bites from the oven and let them cool completely.

While the brownies are cooling, it’s time to whip up the peanut butter mixture! It’s a thick and creamy icing that stands tall and beautifully on top of each brownie bite.

• Powdered sugar
• Piping bag
• Frosting tip

Beat icing ingredients together until smooth. Fill a piping bag fitted with either a round or star tip. Pipe icing onto brownie bites, and place in the fridge. If you’ve decided to make traditional brownies in a square or rectangular pan, spread an even layer of the peanut butter frosting over the brownie layer.
