Instructions

Peanut Butter Balls

Add the 1 cup creamy peanut butter, 4 tablespoons butter, 1 1/2 cups powdered sugar, and 1/8 teaspoon salt in a large bowl. Beat with a hand mixer on medium until combined. *See Note.
Scoop tablespoon size balls with a 1 tablespoon cookie scoop, roll them and place them onto a sheet of wax paper. Set aside.
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F and spray a mini cupcake pan with non-stick baking spray.

Brownies

In a large bowl, add the 18.3 ounce box brownie mix, 3 tablespoons water, 1/2 cup vegetable oil, and 2 large eggs. Beat until incorporated.
Fill each mini cupcake cavity 1/2 full.
Bake for about 15 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center of the brownie comes out clean.
When taking the brownies out of the oven, immediately press a peanut butter ball into the top.
Allow the brownies to cool for 5 to 10 minutes in the pan before turning out onto a wire rack.
Once cooled, add the almond bark to a microwave-safe bowl and microwave for 20 to 30 seconds. Stir and repeat until the almond bark is smooth.
Using a fork, drizzle the chocolate across the peanut butter brownies. Cool to set the chocolate. Enjoy!

Notes

The peanut butter ball mixture should be like a cookie dough, if it’s too crumbly, add a little more peanut butter. If the mixture is too sticky, add some more powdered sugar.

Storage: Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.
