Total Time: 35 mins
Cuisine: American
Serves: 12 brownie cups
Ingredients
- 1 box brownie mix
- 1/4 cup water
- 1/4 cup vegetable oil
- 2 eggs
- 6 Milky Way bars, chopped
- 1/2 cup chocolate chips
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). This ensures that the brownie cups bake evenly and thoroughly.
- Gather all your ingredients: the brownie mix, water, vegetable oil, eggs, chopped Milky Way bars, and chocolate chips.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the brownie mix, 1/4 cup of water, 1/4 cup of vegetable oil, and 2 eggs. Stir the mixture with a whisk or spatula until all the ingredients are well combined and the batter is smooth.
- Fold in the chopped Milky Way bars and chocolate chips into the brownie batter, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the mixture.
- Prepare a muffin tin by greasing it lightly with cooking spray or lining it with cupcake liners to prevent sticking.
- Using a spoon or a cookie scoop, fill each muffin cup about two-thirds full with the brownie batter. This allows room for the brownies to rise while baking.
- Place the muffin tin in the preheated oven and bake for approximately 20-25 minutes. Keep an eye on them, as baking times may vary depending on your oven. The brownie cups should be set on the edges but still slightly soft in the center.
- Once baked, remove the muffin tin from the oven and let it cool for about 10 minutes. This makes it easier to remove the brownie cups without breaking them.
- Carefully remove the brownie cups from the muffin tin. If you used liners, simply peel them away. If not, you may need to use a butter knife to gently loosen the edges before lifting them out.
- Allow the brownie cups to cool completely on a wire rack before serving. This helps them firm up and enhances the flavors.
- Enjoy your Milky Way Brownie Cups as a delicious dessert or treat! They can be served warm or at room temperature, and you can even top them with whipped cream or ice cream for an extra indulgence.
Tips
- Prep Ahead: To save time, measure out your ingredients ahead of time. This way, you can quickly mix everything together when you're ready to bake.
- Mixing Matters: Make sure to mix the brownie batter until it's smooth and free of lumps for the best texture. Overmixing can lead to dense brownies, so mix just until combined.
- Even Baking: For even baking, rotate your muffin tin halfway through the baking time. This ensures that all the brownie cups cook uniformly, especially if your oven has hot spots.
- Check for Doneness: To check if the brownie cups are done, insert a toothpick into the center of one. It should come out with a few moist crumbs, but not wet batter.
- Cooling Technique: Let the brownie cups cool in the tin for about 10 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack. This helps them set and makes them easier to remove without breaking.
- Serve with Style: For an extra touch of indulgence, serve your Milky Way Brownie Cups warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream on top.
- Storage: If you have leftovers (which is rare!), store them in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or in the refrigerator for up to a week. Reheat briefly in the microwave for a warm treat!
