Brownie Bites with White Icing (Print view)

Rich, fudgy bites topped with sweet white icing laces, perfect for game day or themed gatherings.

# List of Ingredients:

→ Brownie Bites

01 - 1/2 cup unsalted butter
02 - 1 cup semisweet chocolate chips
03 - 3/4 cup granulated sugar
04 - 2 large eggs
05 - 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
06 - 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
07 - 1/4 teaspoon salt

→ White Icing

08 - 1/2 cup powdered sugar
09 - 1 to 2 teaspoons milk
10 - 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract

# Step-by-Step Directions:

01 - Preheat oven to 350°F. Lightly grease a 24-cup mini muffin tin or line with paper liners.
02 - In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the butter and chocolate chips together in 30-second bursts, stirring until smooth. Allow to cool slightly.
03 - Whisk in the sugar, then add eggs one at a time, whisking well after each addition. Stir in vanilla extract.
04 - Add flour and salt, folding gently until just combined. Do not overmix.
05 - Divide batter evenly among mini muffin cups, filling each approximately 3/4 full.
06 - Bake for 16 to 18 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with moist crumbs. Avoid overbaking.
07 - Cool brownies in the tin for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
08 - Mix powdered sugar with 1 teaspoon milk and vanilla extract, adding more milk as needed until a thick but pipeable consistency forms.
09 - Transfer icing to a piping bag or zip-top bag with a small tip. Pipe two curved lines on each brownie bite, then add small perpendicular lines to resemble baseball laces.
10 - Allow icing to set before serving.

# Expert Suggestions:

01 -
  • They're genuinely fudgy and tender, not cake-like or dry like some brownie bites turn out.
  • The baseball decoration is easier than it looks, and even kids can help pipe the laces with a little guidance.
02 -
  • Do not skip the cooling step on the wire rack—brownies in the pan will continue cooking and dry out from the residual heat.
  • Room temperature ingredients mix together more smoothly and create a better texture than cold ingredients straight from the fridge.
03 -
  • Invest in a mini muffin tin if you don't have one—these little bites are impossible to portion properly in regular muffin cups.
  • Keep your piping bag tip small and your icing thick, or the lines will spread and lose their definition once set.
