Peanut butter brownie bites

If you have a chocolate and peanut butter craving, these peanut butter brownie bites are just the thing for you!

Now you may be aware that I have a slight enthusiasm for anything involving the combination of chocolate and peanut butter.  From granola, to ice cream, and everything in between!  But these peanut butter brownie bites add an extra dimension.  Because who doesn’t love brownies?

So here is peanut butter and brownies.  In a bite sized piece.  What a combination.  And without flour too!  These peanut butter brownie bites are really moist and yummy … and more-ish. 

The first time I made these, I was sold.  They were so yummy that fortunately I sent most of them with my daughter to youth group, so I wasn’t tempted (and the rest of the family) to continue eating them after they had cooled sufficiently!  The original slice made this as brownies, but I used some muffin tins to make individual bites – either way, the yumminess is amazing!

I should point out that there is absolutely no flour in these little bites at all.  Just some good old fashioned peanut butter and chocolate chips, with eggs and cocoa to give that nice fudge-texture.  And the peanut butter drizzle on top?  Well, you definitely NEED to put that on there!  And feel free to add any other nuts or chocolate chips in the brownie mixture if you wish.  As always, you are only limited by your imagination (and what’s available at the grocery store)!
