Equipment
- 1 mini muffin tin lined with paper liners
- 1 Mixing bowls various sizes
- 1 microwave-safe bowl
Ingredients
Brownie Batter
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter melted
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/3 cup cocoa powder
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon baking powder
Decorations
- 1 cup white chocolate chips
- Red and blue sprinkles
- 1 teaspoon vegetable oil
Instructions
Preparation
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a mini muffin tin with paper liners.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the melted butter and sugar. Stir in the eggs, one at a time, and add the vanilla extract. Mix until smooth.
- In another bowl, whisk together the cocoa powder, flour, salt, and baking powder. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
- Spoon the brownie batter into the prepared mini muffin tin, filling each cup about three-quarters full.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 12 to 15 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a brownie bite comes out with a few crumbs. Allow to cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
Decorating
- In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the white chocolate chips and vegetable oil. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring after each, until the chocolate is smooth and melted.
- Drizzle the melted white chocolate over the cooled brownie bites, and immediately sprinkle with red and blue sprinkles.
Serving and Storage
- Once the chocolate is set, serve the brownie bites on a festive tray at your cookout party. They pair well with fresh fruit or ice cream.
- Store leftover brownie bites in an airtight container at room temperature for up to three days, or in the fridge for up to a week.
