Hello friends!

Chocolate in any form is pretty spectacular: chocolate cookies, chocolate ice cream, chocolate cake, and especially fudgy chocolate brownies! When baking a pan of brownies, I usually cut mine into nice large squares and then regret eating so many.  While enjoying some brownie squares, I thought to make them into one bite chocolate morsels to satisfy my addictive chocolate cravings.

Chewy, moist, and gooey with cocoa powder, dark chocolate, and semi-sweet chocolate chips are my flavorful brownie bites.  So delicious that one small bite satisfies!

Meet ya in the kitchen!

Ingredients:

7 tablespoons butter

4oz  dark 70% chocolate

2 tablespoons instant coffee

2 teaspoons vanilla

1/2 cup brown sugar

1/4 cup granulated sugar

2 eggs

1 cup cocoa powder

7 tablespoons hot water

3/4 cup flour

1/2 teaspoon salt

1/2 teaspoon baking soda

Pinch cinnamon

1 cup semi-sweet mini chips

Let’s Bake!

Directions:

In a microwave-safe bowl add butter, dark chocolate, and instant coffee.  Set the bowl over a saucepan of simmering water or place in a microwave set on melt.  Stir occasionally until everything is melted and add vanilla.  Set aside.

In a small bowl add the cocoa powder and hot water and stir until mixed. Set aside.

 

In a bowl, sift together the flour, salt, and baking soda.

Working with a stand mixer, preferably fitted with a paddle attachment, or with a hand mixer in a large bowl, add the melted chocolate mixture, cocoa powder mixture, and sugars and beat until smooth.  Add eggs, one at a time and beat for 1 minute.  Reduce speed and add the dry ingredients, chocolate chips, and a pinch of cinnamon, mixing until the flour and spice disappear.  Refrigerate for at least 1 hour. Pro-tip: The batter is very wet, hardening helps to scoop into muffin tin.

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

Generously spray a (24-well) mini cupcake tin with baking spray.

Scoop or spoon a tablespoon amount of batter into each muffin tin.  Now bake for about 14-15 minutes, they will look slightly undercooked. Let them cool down for 15 minutes before you try to remove.  I have found that giving each brownie a twist before I remove them helps!
