Ingredients

Scale
  • 1/2 cup (113g) unsalted butter, melted and slightly cooled
  • 1 cup (200g) granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs, room temperature
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/3 cup (40g) unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1/2 cup (65g) all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 cup (60g) powdered sugar
  • 1–2 tablespoons milk or heavy cream
  • 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • White gel frosting or store-bought white icing pen
  • Optional: chocolate jimmies or small candy pieces

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Generously spray a mini muffin pan with nonstick cooking spray.
  2. In a large microwave-safe bowl, melt the butter in 30-second bursts until just melted. Let cool for 2-3 minutes.
  3. Add the granulated sugar to the melted butter and whisk until combined. Add the eggs one at a time, whisking well after each. Stir in the vanilla extract.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together the cocoa powder, flour, salt, and baking powder.
  5. Pour the dry ingredients into the wet mixture and fold with a rubber spatula until just combined. Do not overmix.
  6. Using a cookie scoop or tablespoon, drop about 1 tablespoon of batter into each mini muffin cup, filling them about 3/4 full.
  7. Bake for 12-14 minutes, until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out with a few moist crumbs.
  8. Let the brownie bites cool in the pan for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
  9. For the frosting, whisk together the powdered sugar, 1 tablespoon milk, and vanilla extract. Add more milk a few drops at a time until smooth and drizzly.
  10. Once the brownie bites are completely cool, pipe a white stripe down the center of each bite, then add a small stripe on each side. Let the frosting set for about 10 minutes before serving.

Notes

For best results, use room temperature eggs and let the melted butter cool before adding eggs to avoid scrambling. Do not overfill the muffin cups; 1 tablespoon per cup is ideal. Cool completely before decorating to prevent frosting from melting. These taste even better the next day as flavors meld.
