Ingredients

Scale

Dry Ingredients

  • 3/4 cup all-purpose flour (baked for safety)
  • 1/3 cup cocoa powder
  • 1/2 cup mini chocolate chips

Wet Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup brown sugar
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup butter, softened (1 stick)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Coating

  • 8 ounces German sweet chocolate (chopped)

Instructions

  1. Bake the Flour: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Spread the all-purpose flour evenly on a baking sheet and bake for 5 minutes to ensure it is safe to consume raw. Remove from oven and let the flour cool completely.
  2. Cream Sugars and Butter: In a large mixing bowl, combine the brown sugar, granulated sugar, and softened butter. Mix thoroughly until the mixture is well combined and smooth.
  3. Add Vanilla: Stir in the vanilla extract until the mixture is smooth and fragrant.
  4. Form the Dough: Gradually add the cooled baked flour and cocoa powder to the butter and sugar mixture. Stir until a soft, pliable dough forms.
  5. Fold in Chocolate Chips: Gently fold the mini chocolate chips into the dough using a rubber spatula, ensuring they are evenly distributed.
  6. Shape Brownie Bites: Roll the dough into approximately 1-inch diameter balls, placing them on a parchment-lined baking sheet spaced slightly apart.
  7. Chill the Dough: Place the tray in the refrigerator for about 20 minutes to firm up the brownie bites.
  8. Melt the Coating Chocolate: Melt the chopped German sweet chocolate using a double boiler or carefully in the microwave, stirring until smooth and fully melted.
  9. Dip Brownie Bites: Dip each chilled brownie ball into the melted chocolate, allowing any excess chocolate to drip off before placing them back onto the parchment-lined baking sheet.
  10. Set the Chocolate: Let the dipped brownie bites set at room temperature until the chocolate hardens, or chill again in the refrigerator for quicker setting before serving.

Notes

  • Baking the flour is a crucial step to ensure the dough is safe to eat as it is not cooked further.
  • Use good quality German sweet chocolate for a smooth and glossy finish on the coating.
  • Store the brownie bites in an airtight container in the refrigerator to maintain freshness.
  • These bites can be made ahead and kept chilled for up to a week.
  • For variation, you can substitute mini chocolate chips with chopped nuts or dried fruit.
