How to Make Microwave Brownie Lava Cake

  4. Grease individual custard cups or mason jars.
  5. Divide the batter evenly among the prepared cups, filling each about ¾ full.
  6. Place a few Dove Dark Chocolate Promise candies in the center of each cup.
  7. Microwave on high for 1-2 minutes, then reduce to 50% power and microwave for another 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are set and the center is still slightly soft.
  8. Let the cakes cool for a few minutes before carefully removing them from the cups.
