Snickers Brownie Bites

I made these treats for my brother's birthday, and they made the trek all the way to Boston from Phoenix. I tasted them before the trip and they were awesome, and according to my brother's review they were still delicious after the trip.  Snickers + Brownie + Caramel + Peanuts... sign me up.

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.  Lightly spray a mini muffin tin with non-stick spray.  

Microwave chocolate and butter in a large bowl at medium power until melted. 

Whisk in sugar, eggs, vanilla and salt. 

Gradually add in flour and stir until just combined.

Scoop out the batter into the mini muffin tin.  

Place a mini snickers into the center of the brownies. The batter doesn't need to cover the Snickers.  Bake brownies for 9-10 minutes, the edges will look set.  Carefully remove the brownies from the tin and let cool.  

While the brownies are cooling make the caramel sauce.  Place the caramels and heavy cream in a microwave safe bowl and microwave in 30 second increments until the caramels begin to melt, stirring frequently.  Stir until you have a smooth creamy mixture.  

Drizzle a little caramel sauce over each brownie and add peanuts to the top.  Keep in an airtight container.  These were two bites of heaven, they're not too heavy and are full of flavor.  You'll be coming back for more than one!
