Homemade Skillet Brownies - dessert recipe for Valentine's Day!

Apparently, I like to bake things for Valentine’s Day, as evidenced by my recent post with 10 sweet recipes to celebrate Valentine’s Day and my No-Bake Chocolate Raspberry Cheesecakes.

As I’ve mentioned, Valentine’s Day isn’t my favorite holiday (Being single for 9 years will do that to you.), however, I’m always excited for an excuse to bake something with butter, sugar, and flour. Throw in a classic combo of peanut butter and chocolate, and I become Cupid’s little helper.

On thing I really love about this recipe is it’s presentation. I love anything thing served up in mini form. So when I found these adorable mini skillets, I knew I could find plenty of ways to use them. (Remember the Blueberry Grunt I made? I served them up in the same pans!)

What I love most about this recipe is that there’s truly nothing fancy about it. It’s just brownies, but by amping up the presentation and topping them with creamy peanut butter frosting and colorful sprinkles, you get a unique and festive dessert.

As you know, one of my specialties is giving classic recipes an update for new life, added flavor, and a little pizzazz.

While I made these brownies from scratch, if you’re pressed for time or just prefer to do so, you could certainly use your favorite box mix. W

hen it comes to frosting, however, I always recommend homemade. Frosting is super simple to make, and it blows any store-bought variety out of the water.

Trust me on this.

Ingredients

Brownies:

Peanut Butter Frosting:

Instructions

  • Begin by preheating your oven to 350 degrees F. Butter and flour six mini skillet pans. Set aside.
  • In a heat-safe bowl over simmering water, melt together the chocolate chips and butter. Allow this to cool slightly.
  • In a large bowl, stir together the eggs, instant coffee, vanilla and sugar. Slowly stir the warm chocolate mixture into the egg mixture and allow to cool to room temperature.
  • In another bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder and salt. Gently stir this into the chocolate mixture until just combined.
  • Then evenly divide the batter into the prepared skillets. (You will use about 1/2 cup of batter per skillet.)
  • Place the skillets on a baking sheet and bake for 25–30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted near the center of each brownie comes out clean. While your brownies cool, prepare the frosting.
  • In the bowl of an electric mixer, beat the butter and peanut butter on medium to combine.
  • Add the confectioners’ sugar, vanilla and salt. Mix on medium speed until creamy, scraping the sides of the bowl when necessary.
  • Finally, add the cream and beat on high until the mixture is smooth.
  • Once your brownies have cooled, frost them and add sprinkles or candies, if desired.

  1. I love individual desserts, and they happen to be pandemic friendly! I’d love to try these brownies, but I don’t have mini cast iron skillets. Do you think using ceramic ramekins would work just as well? (Maybe not quite as cute, though). Thanks!
