White Chocolate and Pumpkin Spice Brownie Bites

This fall treat post is sponsored by Global Influence with super yummy fall candy provided by Hershey’s.

I’m lucky to live in a place where we have four very distinct seasons – Yakima, Washington. And while it’s very hard to choose a favorite, I do think fall is it. I live in a really agricultural area, filled with farms and orchards and vineyards, so not only is it beautiful here this time of year as the leaves change colors – it’s a delicious time of year too. There are so many local produce and farm stands to choose from, and there are tons of fun pick-your-own pumpkin patches. And speaking of pumpkin…. Here in Washington, we’re also the home of Starbucks, and the un-official drink of fall, the Pumpkin Spice Latte! And since I’m a big fan of all things pumpkiny, I created a sweet treat inspired by my favorite flavors of fall – White Chocolate & Pumpkin Spice Brownie Bites. Yum-mazing.

These were really simple to make, and ohsogood. The combo of the chewy chocolate brownie, topped with smooth pumpkin spice creaminess and white chocolate is perfection. Like, if could take a bite out of the fall season, this is what it would taste like. I use the Wilton Mini Muffin Pan for brownie bites, since the non-stick works awesome, and I can make my brownies without wrappers if I want. }I’m also kind of in love with the Smart Planet Brownie Bite Maker. I used it at a friend’s house and it’s super cool :)} Then I added the new Pumpkin Spice Hershey’s Kisses on top of each one, and put them back in the oven for a few minutes to let them melt and kind of glue themselves on. To top them off, I drizzled some Wilton white chocolate candy melts over each one. Let ’em set for a minute to cool, and you have total deliciousness.

White Chocolate and Pumpkin Spice Brownie Bites

Ingredients

1/2 cup butter
1 cup white sugar
2 eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/3 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon baking powder
1 package Pumpkin Spice Hershey's Kisses
1 package Wilton white chocolate candy melts

Instructions

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. If you're not using a non-stick pan like I am, spray it with cooking spray. Or, use pretty paper mini-cupcake liners if you want to add some color!
In a big saucepan, melt your butter. Once it's melted, remove from heat, and stir in your sugar, eggs, and vanilla. Then mix in the rest of your brownie ingredients - the flour, salt, cocoa, and baking powder. Now add the batter to your pan - I use an ice cream scoop to make it easier.
Bake 'em up for about 25 minutes. Take out the pan, and quickly top each brownie bite with a Pumpkin Spice Hershey's Kiss. Put the pan back in the oven for 3-5 minutes, to let each kiss melt just a little bit.
While you're waiting for the Kisses to melt, fill either a decorating bag, or a ziploc bag, with the candy melts. Follow the directions on the bag to melt the candies.
Remove the brownie bag from the oven, snip the tip off of your baggie, and drizzle some white chocolate over each brownie bite.
Let cool for a few minutes {if you can wait - it's hard!} and then enjoy!
