While traditional brownies are already perfect as they are, these Fudgy Brownie Bites are extra decadent and fudgy, and perfect for chocolate lovers. These brownie bites are traditional brownies that have been cut into small cubes before being coated in a chocolate-almond mixture. These fudgy brownies make wonderful desserts for anyone who loves chocolate desserts, but they would also work for an afternoon snack with a glass of cold milk. The brownies are made in one bowl; you start by mixing the eggs with the sugar and vanilla followed by the chocolate and butter. Then, you add the flour, cocoa powder, salt, and chocolate chips before pouring them in a pan and baking them in the oven. Once baked, the brownies are cut into squares and dipped into a mixture of melted chocolate and almonds, and allowed to sit in the fridge until the chocolate coating is set. The chocolate coating will amplify the decadence of these brownie bites, making them a sure way to satisfy a chocolate craving.

What are Fudgy Brownie Bites?

Brownie bites are a unique take on brownies; they are just smaller, one or two-bite pieces that make them easier to eat. This variation is coated in melted chocolate that has been mixed with almonds for some delicious crunch. However, there are many types of brownie bite recipes.

Some brownie bite recipes involve baking the batter in mini muffin cups for mini bite-sized chewy brownies. These often don’t include a chocolate glaze, but are simply miniature brownies. However, another version is salted caramel brownie bites where the bites are baked with caramel squares and flaked sea salt on top. Brownie bites can also be served simply, dolloped with some whipped cream or dusted with powdered sugar.

If you or your family love the chewy, fudgy texture of brownies, you will adore this brownie bite recipe. While they are great served for a dessert, they can also be packed into school lunches or served as afterschool snacks.

Pro Tips

  • Line the baking pan with parchment paper to make it easier to remove the brownies from the pan.
  • Use a measuring tape to help you cut the brownies into even-sized bites.
  • Make sure you don’t over bake the brownies as overbaking them will give them a drier consistency rather than the fudgy texture that brownies should be.
  • Use chocolate like dark chocolate or semi-sweet chocolate in the brownie batter for a stronger chocolate flavor.
  • Feel free to add whatever chocolate chips you like into the batter once it is mixed. Dark chocolate chips, milk chocolate chips, semi-sweet, or white chocolate would all work well in these brownie bites.
  • For a stronger almond flavor in the brownies, toast them in the oven until they are fragrant and golden before adding them to the melted chocolate to coat the brownie bites.
  • Refrigerating the brownies before eating them will make them extra fudgy.

What to Serve with Brownie Bites?

These brownie bites don’t require any accompaniment except for a beverage to cut through their richness. Coffee, tea, or cold glasses of milk are all good options.

Can I Add Nuts into the Brownie Bite Batter?

Yes, if you love your brownies with nuts like walnuts or pecans, feel free to fold some into the brownie batter before you bake them. Feel free to replace part or all of the chocolate chips with an equivalent amount of nuts.

What Else Can I Add to the Batter?

You can add whatever you like to the batter such as chopped cookies, chopped caramel pieces, toffee bits, or M&Ms.

Can I Bake the Brownie Batter in a Different Pan?

Yes, you can! If you prefer to make this brownie bite recipe even easier, you could bake the batter in a silicone mini muffin pan. This would eliminate you having to slice the brownies by hand before dipping them into the melted chocolate mixture.

Why Are My Brownie Bites So Dry?

The brownie bites might turn dry if they are overbaked or if the oven temperature is too high. Even a few extra minutes can dry out the brownies, so be sure to check for doneness early. Additionally, not enough fat (like butter or chocolate) or too much flour can make the texture dry.

How to Store Brownie Bites

These brownie bites should be stored in airtight containers in the fridge where they should stay fresh for up to 5 days. It is best to store them in even layers or between sheets of wax paper to ensure they don’t stick to each other.
