Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 1/2 cup melted butter Still warm, not scorching hot
  • 3/4 cup sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 to 1.5 tablespoons red food coloring Gel or liquid, adjust to your preference
  • 1 tablespoon cocoa powder Unsweetened
  • 1 cup all purpose flour
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
Optional Ingredients
  • 1/2 cup white chocolate chips Or mini chocolate chips

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and prepare your mini muffin pan with liners or nonstick spray.
  2. In a bowl, whisk together the melted butter and sugar until glossy. Add the eggs, vanilla extract, and red food coloring, and whisk until smooth.
  3. Sprinkle in the cocoa powder, flour, and salt. Use a spatula to mix until just combined; do not overmix.
  4. If using, fold in the white chocolate or mini chocolate chips.
  5. Scoop the batter into each muffin cup about 2/3 full.
  6. Bake for 10 to 13 minutes, checking for doneness with a toothpick; it should come out with a few moist crumbs.
  7. Let the brownie bites cool in the pan for about 10 minutes, then remove to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

For the best results, use warm melted butter, do not overbake, and let them cool before decorating. Bake ahead for better flavor development.
