Description
Peanut Butter Brownie Bombs are fudgy, bite-sized desserts filled with creamy peanut butter and coated in glossy chocolate. Each piece delivers the perfect balance of rich cocoa, nutty filling, and a touch of sea salt for that irresistible sweet-salty harmony.
Ingredients
- Unsalted butter: 113 g, melted for a rich, fudgy base
- Granulated sugar: 200 g, for sweetness and glossy texture
- Light brown sugar: 100 g, adds moisture and caramel flavor
- Large eggs: 2, room temperature for smooth mixing
- Vanilla extract: 1 tsp, enhances the chocolate flavor
- All-purpose flour: 95 g, provides structure while keeping brownies dense
- Unsweetened cocoa powder: 50 g, for deep chocolate flavor
- Baking powder: 1/2 tsp, gives a subtle lift
- Fine salt: 1/4 tsp, balances the sweetness
- Creamy peanut butter: 240 g, forms the smooth, nutty center
- Powdered sugar: 60 g, stabilizes and sweetens the peanut butter filling
- Semi-sweet chocolate chips: 340 g, for the shiny coating
- Coconut oil: 1 tbsp, keeps the chocolate coating smooth and glossy
- Flaky sea salt: a pinch, to finish with a delicate crunch
Instructions
- Preheat Your Equipment: Preheat oven to 175°C (350°F) and line an 8×8 inch baking pan with parchment paper.
- Combine Ingredients: Melt butter with granulated and brown sugars until smooth. Remove from heat, whisk in eggs one at a time, then stir in vanilla.
- Prepare Your Cooking Vessel: Sift together flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt, then gently fold into the wet mixture until just combined.
- Cook to Perfection: Pour batter into the pan and bake for 18–22 minutes, or until the center is set but still soft. Let cool completely.
- Assemble the Dish: Mix peanut butter and powdered sugar until smooth, then chill for 15 minutes. Roll into small balls for filling.
- Form the Bombs: Cut cooled brownies into small squares, wrap each around a peanut butter ball, and roll into a smooth sphere. Chill for 30 minutes.
- Finishing Touches: Melt chocolate chips with coconut oil until glossy. Dip each chilled brownie ball, let excess drip off, then sprinkle flaky sea salt on top.
- Serve and Enjoy: Allow chocolate to set at room temperature or in the fridge for a firmer finish. Serve and savor the fudgy chocolate shell with its creamy peanut butter heart.
Notes
- Chill the peanut butter centers before shaping to prevent them from melting during assembly.
- Don’t overbake the brownies—slightly underbaked keeps them fudgy and rich.
- Add a bit of espresso powder to deepen the chocolate flavor.
- For an elegant look, drizzle leftover melted chocolate over the finished bombs before serving.
