Brownie bites are cute, small-sized snacks that can be served at a party or other event. To prepare them, you need simple brownie batter. Once out of the oven, cut them into squares, let them cool and dip them in the chocolate. You can decorate them with sprinkles, dried fruit, glitter powdered sugar, and any other ingredients you want.
Ingrediants
- 100 g of butter
- 250 g of coarsely chopped semi-dark chocolate
- 250 g of granulated sugar
- 3 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract
- 100 g of all-purpose flour
- A pinch of salt
- 250 g of semi-sweet chocolate
- Nuts, sprinkles, regular or glitter icing sugar, and other decorative ingredients (optional)
Steps
Part 1 of 3: Prepare the Batter
Step 1. Melt the butter and chocolate in a thick-bottomed saucepan over medium-high heat
Watch it to make sure it doesn't burn.
- If the chocolate has melted and there is a small piece of solid butter left, remove the saucepan from the heat and stir the ingredients until the butter has also melted. It is best to remove the butter from the heat while it is still slightly solid, as it tends to burn easily.
- At this point, let the mixture cool - it should be at room temperature. It will take about 15 minutes.
Step 2. Once the mixture has cooled, add the sugar and mix until smooth
Step 3. Add the eggs and vanilla
Start with the eggs, adding one at a time. Beat them gently with the batter using a metal whisk until the mixture is smooth and homogeneous. Beat the eggs, add the vanilla.
Step 4. Incorporate the flour and salt
Pour them on the surface of the batter and mix with a rubber spatula. Starting at the back of the bowl, make a vertical cut in the mixture along the bottom of the bowl.
Rotate the bowl 90 degrees and make another vertical cut using the spatula. Continue like this so that all the ingredients blend evenly
Part 2 of 3: Bake the Brownies
Step 1. Prepare a 30 x 20 cm pan by spraying it with non-stick cooking spray
Pour the batter using a spatula or spoon.
Step 2. Bake the brownies at 180 ° C for about 35 minutes
Before taking them out of the oven, check them to make sure they are ready. To do this, insert a toothpick into the center of the brownies and remove it - it should come out clean. If any traces of batter remain, leave them in the oven for a few more minutes
Step 3. Remove from the oven, let them cool for about an hour
They must be completely cold to proceed.
Step 4. Cut the brownies with a knife
The morsels do not have to have particular dimensions, it all depends on your tastes. Cut them into vertical lines, then proceed with horizontal lines.
Use a cold knife to get a clean result. Put a butter (or other) knife in the fridge for an hour, then use it to cut brownies
Step 5. Place the brownie bites in the refrigerator for at least an hour
This way they will be solid enough to easily dip into the chocolate sauce.
Since you won't be leaving them in the refrigerator for long, there's no need to cover them. However, if you want, you can do this using a sheet of aluminum foil or cling film
Part 3 of 3: Frosting and Decorating the Bocconcini
Step 1. Cut the chocolate into squares and melt it in the microwave using a suitable bowl
Calculate 30 seconds. Remove the chocolate from the oven and mix it. Continue heating it in 30-second intervals until it has dissolved completely.
Step 2. Remove the brownies from the refrigerator and dip them one at a time in the chocolate sauce
Step 3. Once dipped in the chocolate, decorate them as you wish using for example sprinkles or icing sugar
- Did you prepare them for a special occasion? Go for a themed decoration. For example, you can use red and green sprinkles for Christmas or pink for Valentine's Day.
- If you make them for a friend, use decorations of their liking. For example, if you're taking them to a little girl's birthday, glitter icing sugar will make a great impression.
Step 4. Once you have dipped and decorated the brownies, put them back in the refrigerator and let them cool until the chocolate has solidified
The times depend on the temperature of the fridge, but generally it takes 20 minutes.
