Each one features a rich brownie base topped with silky ganache and a sprinkle of mini chocolate chips — the ultimate dessert for parties, holidays, or when you just need a little chocolate fix.
Ingredients
For the Brownie Base:
- 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
- ½ cup unsalted butter
- ¾ cup granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- ½ cup all-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons cocoa powder
- ¼ teaspoon salt
For the Ganache:
- ½ cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
- ¼ cup heavy cream
- Mini chocolate chips (for topping)
Instructions
1. Make the Brownies:
Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a mini muffin tin and set aside. In a heatproof bowl, melt butter and chocolate chips together (using the microwave in 20-second intervals or over a double boiler). Stir until smooth.
Whisk in sugar, then eggs one at a time, followed by vanilla extract. Add flour, cocoa powder, and salt, stirring just until combined. Spoon about 1 tablespoon of batter into each mini muffin cup.
Bake for 12–14 minutes, until the tops are set but still soft in the center. Cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
2. Prepare the Ganache:
In a small saucepan or microwave-safe bowl, heat heavy cream just until steaming. Pour over chocolate chips and let sit for 1–2 minutes, then stir until smooth and glossy.
3. Assemble the Bites:
Spoon a small dollop of ganache onto each cooled brownie bite. Sprinkle with mini chocolate chips while the ganache is still soft. Let sit at room temperature or chill for 15 minutes to set.
Tips for Success
- Don’t overbake — slightly underdone brownies yield the fudgiest texture.
- For extra flavor, add a pinch of espresso powder to the batter.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days or refrigerate for up to a week.
Serving Ideas
Serve these brownie bites as part of a dessert platter, pair them with coffee or milk, or top them with whipped cream or raspberries for an elegant touch.
