Ingredients
Scale
Brownie Batter
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter
- 1 cup semisweet chocolate chips
- 2 large eggs
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/3 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 cup mini chocolate eggs (chopped or whole)
Topping
- Extra mini chocolate eggs for topping
Instructions
- Preheat Oven and Prepare Pan: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease or line a mini muffin tin to prevent sticking and ensure easy removal of the brownie bites.
- Melt Butter and Chocolate: In a saucepan over low heat, melt the unsalted butter together with semisweet chocolate chips, stirring continuously until the mixture is smooth and fully combined. Remove from heat and allow it to cool slightly to prevent cooking the eggs later.
- Mix Eggs, Sugar, and Vanilla: In a mixing bowl, whisk the eggs, granulated sugar, and vanilla extract together until the mixture is well combined and slightly fluffy.
- Combine Chocolate and Egg Mixtures: Gradually add the melted chocolate and butter mixture to the egg mixture, stirring well to incorporate all the ingredients thoroughly.
- Add Dry Ingredients: Stir in the all-purpose flour, salt, and baking powder just until combined. Avoid overmixing to keep the brownies tender.
- Fold in Mini Eggs: Gently fold in the chopped mini chocolate eggs to distribute them evenly throughout the batter.
- Fill Mini Muffin Tin: Spoon the batter into the prepared mini muffin tin, filling each cup about three-quarters full. Add an extra mini egg on top of each brownie bite for decorative appeal and extra crunch.
- Bake: 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 moist crumbs, indicating they are baked perfectly fudgy.
- Cool: Let the brownie bites cool in the pan for 5 minutes to set, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely before serving or storing.
Notes
- Use candy-coated mini eggs such as Cadbury Mini Eggs for the best texture and classic flavor.
- These brownie bites freeze well, making them a convenient treat to prepare ahead of time for Easter or parties.
- For extra indulgence, serve with a dusting of powdered sugar or a drizzle of melted chocolate.
