Gluten Free Caramel Filled Brownie Bites with Buttercream

March 28, 2015 by Lynne 3 Comments

So you know that gluten free brownie mix I posted the other day? Well, it is fabulously delish, so we made a million brownies, because I had to make sure everyone liked it, didn’t I?

These gluten free caramel filled brownie bites with buttercream frosting are the real deal, folks. Chewy and fudgy and I had a bag of Kraft Caramels, so I had to take them over the top, because that’s how I roll.

Gluten Free Caramel Filled Brownie Bites with Buttercream

I’ve tried making caramel by boiling a can of sweetened condensed milk for about 3 hours, but I just don’t really care for the taste. I know, I know – get the pitchforks, but honestly I like melting Kraft caramels and adding some heavy cream because it just tastes better, gets stretchy and I love it when it sticks in my teeth. I’m a weirdo, but if you’ve been reading this blog, you already know that, don’t you? We’re all weirdos around here…

I didn’t have any mini cupcake liners, so I cut out 4 inch by 4 inch squares of parchment and used those, because you can do that in a pinch, did you know that? I have a paper cutter so it wasn’t a big deal, but if you have to cut them by hand then you’ll be glad you only need 12. My mini cupcake pan makes 12 and with this mix, I only had enough left over to make about 4 more so I just popped them in after without the liners and instantly regretted it. Have you ever tried to get brownies out of an unsprayed cupcake pan? Not only did I forget to spray it, but that caramel stuck so bad, I just grabbed a spoon and ate it right out of the pan because I’m obviously such a lady.

Anyway, stuck or not, these brownie bites are simply divine I tell ya! The gluten free brownie mixes I have used are too crumbly and dry for me since I like them a little undercooked and fudgy …weirdo, remember?

What I did was put a small scoop into the cups and used a spoon to hollow them out a little then added a spoonful of caramel and topped with another scoop of the brownie mix. I have a small ice cream scoooper, but I honestly don’t know the actual size – it’s just the small size scooper if that tells you anything.

I know that at 350 degrees, they only took 15 minutes to bake, but like I said, I like them a little undercooked because when they cool they are super fugy …how many times have I said fudgy in this post? Too many?

Enjoy!
