Brownie Buttons (TWD)

This week's Tuesdays with Dorie (TWD) recipe was chosen by Jayma of Two Scientists Experimenting in the Kitchen: Brownie Buttons. They are these adorable little brownies made in mini muffin pans. Only problem was that I don't have mini muffin pans and did not want to go out and buy them just for this recipe.


So I made these in a regular sized muffin pan instead, and ended up with four regular sized brownies. I have to say that making brownies this way so easy and convenient - no need to slice them when you're done, and there is a great ratio of crispy edge to soft fudgey middle. No need for a special edge pan! The prep time was literally 5 minutes, and then they were in the oven - easiest brownie recipe ever!


Since my brownie "buttons" were so large, I "frosted" them instead of dipping them. I put melted white chocolate on half of them, and melted peanut butter chips on the other half. These had a nice crisp edge around them but they were soft and fudgey in the middle. My husband and I both loved these - our only complaint was that the recipe only yielded four! I would definitely recommend making a double batch if you try this.


Thanks Jayma, for picking this recipe, I will definitely be making it again - it may be my go-to brownie recipe from now on simply because it is so simple and easy!
