How to Make Decadent Hot Cocoa Brownie Bites

  • Preheat Oven: Set your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a mini muffin pan or line with mini paper cups.
  • Melt Butter: In a saucepan over low heat, melt the unsalted butter until fully liquid. Stir in granulated sugar until well-combined. Let cool slightly.
  • Mix Wet Ingredients: Whisk in the large eggs one at a time, followed by vanilla extract. Ensure everything is well-blended.
  • Combine Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, mix unsweetened cocoa powder, all-purpose flour, salt, and baking powder.
  • Combine Mixtures: Gradually add the dry mixture to the wet ingredients, stirring gently until just combined.
  • Fill Muffin Pan: Spoon the batter into the mini muffin cups, filling them about two-thirds full.
  • Bake: Place the muffin pan in the oven and bake for 15-20 minutes. Use a toothpick to check for doneness.
  • Cool: Allow brownie bites to rest in the pan for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
  • Add Toppings: Once cool, place mini marshmallows on top. Broil for 1-2 minutes until lightly toasted if desired.
  • Drizzle Chocolate: Melt additional chocolate chips with a splash of milk. Drizzle over brownie bites.
  • Serve: Enjoy warm or at room temperature. Perfect for sharing or indulging solo!

Notes

For a festive touch, sprinkle crushed peppermint on top! Store brownie bites in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
