These brownie bites are so fun and fudge like! They are quick and easy to make. These bites are baked in a muffin pan. They are great with ice cream, hot fudge or whipped cream on top!
First, preheat oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit. Line a muffin pan with paper liners or heavily spray with nonstick spray.
Add melted butter and 1 ½ cups chocolate chips to a bowl. Stir until completely melted and creamy. If needed, microwave until fully melted.
In a mixing bowl, add sugar and eggs. Whisk vigorously for 3 minutes, until light and frothy.
Then, pour in melted chocolate mixture. Whisk to combine.
Add in vanilla, flour, and cocoa powder. Whisk to combine.
Then, fold in ⅓ cup chocolate chips.
Use an ice cream scoop to transfer batter to the muffin pan. Fill each cavity about ¾ of the way full.
Bake for 12 to 15 minutes. For more fudge like, bake 12 minutes. For more baked through, bake for 15 minutes.
Finally, remove from oven. If you used paper liners, allow brownies to cool for 5 minutes then carefully remove. If you greased the pan, allow brownies to cool for at least 15 minutes. Then run a knife along the edges of the brownies to carefully release.
Notes
Both chocolate chips and chopped chocolate work well. Choose chocolate chips you enjoy the taste of. This is a major flavor. I do not recommend using sugar free chocolate; this prevents those shiny tops.
If needed, microwave the butter and chocolate together. This needs to be fully melted and smooth.
Both regular all purpose flour and gluten free 1 to 1 flour can be used.
The batter will be slightly thicker than normal brownie batter.
Do not over bake! For fudge like brownies, bake only 12 minutes. They will be slightly more difficult to remove the pan so please be gentle and patient.
See section above for whether or not to use muffin liners.
Store leftovers covered at room temperature for up to 3 days.
