Introduction

These Chocolate Caramel Brownie Bites are a delightful treat combining rich chocolate, gooey caramel, and a soft, fudgy brownie base. Perfectly portioned as bite-sized indulgences, they make an irresistible dessert or snack for any occasion.

Ingredients

• ½ cup unsalted butter
• 1 cup dark chocolate morsels
• 1 cup granulated sugar
• ¾ cup all-purpose flour
• 3 large eggs
• ½ teaspoon kosher salt
• 2 packages (7.9 oz each) DOVE® PROMISES Caramel Milk Chocolates
• ½ cup unsalted butter, softened
• 2 cups powdered sugar
• ½ cup unsweetened dark chocolate cocoa powder
• ¼ cup milk
• 2 tablespoons caramel sauce

Instructions

1. Step 1: Preheat oven to 375°F and spray a mini muffin pan with baking spray. Set aside.
2. Step 2: In a large, microwave-safe bowl, combine ½ cup butter and dark chocolate morsels. Microwave for 1 minute, stir, then heat an additional 30 seconds. Stir until smooth.
3. Step 3: Add sugar, flour, eggs, and salt to the chocolate mixture. Blend gently until just combined—avoid overmixing.
4. Step 4: Using a 1-tablespoon scoop, evenly divide the brownie batter into the prepared muffin tins. Bake for 11–13 minutes.
5. Step 5: While baking, unwrap the DOVE® PROMISES Caramel Milk Chocolates.
6. Step 6: When brownies are done, remove from oven and immediately press one caramel chocolate candy into the center of each brownie. Let brownies cool in the pan for about 15 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
7. Step 7: For the frosting, beat softened butter, cocoa powder, powdered sugar, milk, and caramel sauce in a bowl until smooth (about 3–5 minutes), scraping the sides as needed.
8. Step 8: Pipe or spoon the frosting onto each cooled brownie bite. Serve and enjoy!

Tips & Variations

• Any chocolate-covered caramel candy, such as Rolos, works well as a substitute for the DOVE chocolates.

• For an extra touch, try homemade caramel candies instead of store-bought for a personal twist.

FAQs

Instructions

1. Preheat and prepare pan: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly spray a mini muffin pan with baking spray to prevent sticking and set it aside.

8. Frost brownies and serve: Once the brownie bites are fully cooled, pipe or spoon the chocolate caramel frosting onto each mini brownie. Serve and enjoy!
