Servings: 16 brownie bites
Equipment
- Brownie Bite Mold or pan
Ingredients
For the Brownies:
- 8 Tablespoons butter softened (1 stick)
- ½ cup 70% dark chocolate chopped
- ⅔ cup granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 3 Tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
- ¾ cup all-purpose flour
- ½ teaspoon salt
For the Glaze:
- 1½ cups white chocolate chips
- 3 tablespoons canola oil or neutral oil
- Red oil-based food coloring or powdered food coloring
- Valentine's Day sprinkles
Instructions
Make the Brownies:
- Preheat oven to 175°C (350°F). Grease a silicone brownie bites mold or square pan.
- In a heatproof bowl, melt butter and dark chocolate together using a double boiler or microwave (30-second intervals, stirring between). Let cool slightly.
- In a mixing bowl, whisk together eggs and sugar until well combined, about 1-2 minutes. Stir in vanilla extract.
- Sift together flour, cocoa powder, and salt. Gently fold dry ingredients into egg mixture in two additions, just until combined. Don't overmix.
- Pour melted chocolate mixture into batter and stir until fully combined and glossy.
- Transfer batter to a piping bag or use a spoon to fill molds ⅔ full.
- Bake for 10-15 minutes, until a toothpick inserted comes out with moist crumbs (not raw batter). Start checking at 10 minutes.
- Cool in mold for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely before decorating.
Decorate the Brownies:
- Melt white chocolate with sunflower oil in microwave-safe bowl, stirring every 30 seconds until smooth.
- Divide melted chocolate into separate bowls. Add red GEL food coloring to create pink and red shades, leaving one bowl white.
- Fully coat some brownies by dipping or spooning chocolate over them. Place on parchment paper.
- Once coating sets slightly (about 5 minutes), drizzle contrasting chocolate colors over coated brownies using a piping bag or spoon.
- For remaining brownies, drizzle various chocolate shades directly over uncoated brownies.
- Immediately top all brownies with Valentine's Day sprinkles while chocolate is wet.
- Let set at room temperature for 30 minutes or freeze for 10-15 minutes until firm.
