Milky Way Brownie Cups Recipe

Cooking Directions

• STEP 1.Preheat your oven to 350掳F (175掳C) and line a muffin tin with cupcake liners.
• STEP 2.In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the butter and chocolate together in 30-second intervals, stirring in between, until smooth.
• STEP 3.In a separate bowl, whisk together the sugar, eggs, and vanilla extract. Gradually add the melted chocolate mixture and stir until well combined.
• STEP 4.Sift in the flour, cocoa powder, and salt. Gently fold the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients until just combined.
• STEP 5.Spoon the brownie batter into the prepared muffin tin, filling each cup about halfway. Press a mini Milky Way candy bar into the center of each cup, then top with more batter to cover the candy bar.
• STEP 6.Bake for 18-20 minutes, or until the edges are set and the centers are slightly gooey. Allow the brownie cups to cool in the muffin tin for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
• STEP 7.Serve the Milky Way Brownie Cups warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream, if desired.
• STEP 8.Store any leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.

Cooking Tips

• Make sure to line your muffin tin with cupcake liners to prevent the brownie cups from sticking.
• You can use regular-sized Milky Way candy bars instead of mini ones, but be sure to cut them into smaller pieces before adding them to the brownie cups.
• For an extra gooey center, slightly underbake the brownie cups by reducing the baking time by a couple of minutes.

Storage and Serving

• These Milky Way Brownie Cups are best served warm, straight from the oven.
• If you have any leftovers, store them in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
• To reheat, place the brownie cups in the microwave for a few seconds until warm, or in a preheated oven at 350掳F (175掳C) for a few minutes.
