Brownie Bites

These are so similar to the two bite brownies you buy in store, you know the really addictive ones? The only difference is that they are homemade which obviously makes them 10x better. Do you wanna know a secret to make them even more epic? Add salted caramel.

I always prep this recipe by measuring out the ingredients beforehand. So in a bowl I measure out the cocoa powder, sugar, expresso powder, and salt. I measure out the chocolate chips and leave them in the measuring cup until needed. I also do the same with the flour.

Place a medium sized pot over the stove on medium heat, melt the butter.

Once melted, add the sugar, cocoa powder, expresso powder and salt. Mix until smooth. Then you will be remove from the stovetop for the rest of the recipe. Add in the vanilla and eggs until combined, then add in the flour and chocolate chips until no more flour is visible.

In your greased mini muffin tray, spoon the batter into each mold. Bake in the preheated 350°F for about 15 minutes. Let cool for a few minutes then run a knife along the edges to lift them out of the molds. Continue cooling on the cooling rack.

If you're adding the caramel to them. (You can use my recipe for the caramel by clicking here) Make little holes in the center and spoon some caramel in them. I use the pointy part of a metal vegetable peeler to help make/scoop out the holes.
