Preheat the oven to 350°F.
Place the butter and chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl and heat in 30-second intervals until the butter melts. Stir thoroughly, and if the chocolate hasn’t completely melted, microwave for an additional 15 seconds.
½ cup butter, 2 ounces unsweetened chocolate
Stir in the sugar and the vanilla.
1 cup sugar, 1 teaspoon vanilla
Allow the mixture to cool for 1-2 minutes, then stir in the eggs.
2 eggs
Add the flour and salt. Stir until combined.
1¼ cups flour, ¼ teaspoon salt
Spray a mini muffin tin with a nonstick spray. Use a small cookie scoop to scoop up the batter and place in muffin tin.
Place a mini peanut butter cup on top of the batter for each brownie bite.
24 mini peanut butter cups
Bake in a preheated 350°F oven for 15-17 minutes.
Allow brownie bites to cool, then remove from pan.
Store in an airtight pan at room temperature for 3-4 days.

Melt the butter and chocolate in the microwave in short increments. The chocolate will melt slower than the butter. Once the butter is melted, just let everything rest for a few minutes. The warm butter will continue to melt the chocolate slowly. Add back the microwave if needed.

Make certain the mixture isn't too hot when you add the eggs. Let it cool for 1-2 minutes after adding the sugar, stirring from time to time.

Place the mini peanut butter cup in the center and press lightly into the batter.
