Deliciously rich and fudgy brownie bites made with bittersweet chocolate, butter, and a hint of vanilla. These mini treats are perfect for snacking or sharing and come together quickly with simple ingredients. Baked to perfection with a glossy, crackled top and a moist center, they satisfy any chocolate craving.

  • Total Time: 30-32 minutes
  • Yield: 24 mini brownie bites

Ingredients

Chocolate Mixture

  • 6 Tbsp butter
  • 4 oz bittersweet chocolate, chopped

Wet Ingredients

  • 2/3 cup (152g) granulated sugar
  • 1 Tbsp corn syrup
  • 1 egg
  • 1/2 Tbsp vanilla bean paste

Dry Ingredients

  • 3/4 cup (114g) all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 tsp salt

Instructions

  1. Prepare Oven and Pan: Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C). Spray a silicone mini muffin pan with non-stick spray and set aside.
  2. Melt Butter and Chocolate: Place the butter and chopped bittersweet chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring between each, until completely melted and smooth.
  3. Add Sugar and Corn Syrup: Whisk the granulated sugar and corn syrup into the melted chocolate mixture. Let it stand for 5 minutes to incorporate flavors and cool slightly.
  4. Incorporate Egg and Vanilla: Add the egg and vanilla bean paste to the chocolate mixture. Use an electric hand mixer to beat the batter for 2 minutes until well combined and slightly fluffy.
  5. Fold in Dry Ingredients: Gently fold in the all-purpose flour and salt until just combined, being careful not to overmix to maintain a tender texture.
  6. Portion Batter: Spoon the batter evenly into the prepared silicone mini muffin pan, filling each cup almost to the top.
  7. Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 20-22 minutes, or until the tops of the brownie bites are glossy and beginning to crack, indicating they are set but fudgy inside.
  8. Cool and Remove: Allow the brownie bites to cool completely in the pan before removing them carefully to maintain their shape.
  9. Store: Store the brownie bites in an airtight container for up to 4 days to keep them fresh and moist.

Notes

  • Using bittersweet chocolate provides a rich, deep chocolate flavor; you can substitute with semisweet chocolate if preferred.
  • Silicone mini muffin pans work best for easy removal without damaging the brownie bites.
  • Do not overbake as the brownies will become dry; they should be fudgy with a shiny crackled top.
  • Allowing the batter to rest after adding sugar and corn syrup improves texture and sweetness integration.
  • For a nutty variation, fold in chopped walnuts or pecans before baking.
