Instructions
Preparation
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a mini muffin tin or line it with mini muffin liners.
- In a medium bowl, combine the melted butter and granulated sugar. Mix until well combined and the mixture looks smooth.
- Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
- In a separate bowl, sift together the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring until just combined.
- Add the red food coloring and mix until you achieve a uniform color and texture.
- If using, fold in the white chocolate chips at this stage for an extra burst of sweetness.
Baking
- Spoon the batter into your mini muffin tin, filling each cavity about 2/3 full.
- Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Allow the brownie bites to cool in the tin for about 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Serving
- Once cooled, top each brownie bite with a dollop of cream cheese frosting for that signature touch.
