Baseball Brownie Bites (Printable)

Fudgy brownie bites decorated with sweet white icing laces for a sporty touch to your treats.

# What You’ll Use:

→ Brownie Bites

01 - 1/2 cup unsalted butter
02 - 1 cup semisweet chocolate chips
03 - 3/4 cup granulated sugar
04 - 2 large eggs
05 - 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
06 - 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
07 - 1/4 teaspoon salt

→ White Icing

08 - 1/2 cup powdered sugar
09 - 1 to 2 teaspoons milk
10 - 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract

# How-To:

01 - Preheat oven to 350°F. Lightly grease a 24-cup mini muffin tin or line with paper liners.
02 - In a microwave-safe bowl, melt butter and chocolate chips together in 30-second bursts, stirring until smooth. Allow to cool slightly.
03 - Whisk sugar into the melted chocolate mixture. Add eggs one at a time, whisking thoroughly after each addition. Stir in vanilla extract.
04 - Add flour and salt, folding gently until just combined. Avoid overmixing to maintain fudgy texture.
05 - Divide batter evenly among mini muffin cups, filling each approximately three-quarters full.
06 - Bake for 16 to 18 minutes, until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with moist crumbs. Avoid overbaking.
07 - Cool brownies in the tin for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
08 - Mix powdered sugar with 1 teaspoon milk and vanilla extract, adding additional milk as needed until achieving a thick yet pipeable consistency.
09 - Transfer icing to a piping bag or zip-top bag fitted with a small tip. Pipe two curved lines on each brownie bite, then add small perpendicular lines to resemble baseball laces.
10 - Allow icing to set before serving.

# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • They're fudgy and rich without being heavy, so you can genuinely eat more than one without feeling guilty.
  • The baseball design gets compliments instantly, which means less time explaining and more time enjoying the moment.
  • Prep and bake time is honest—you'll have finished brownies in under 40 minutes without any last-minute stress.
02 -
  • The difference between fudgy and dry is genuinely just two minutes of baking time, so set a timer and check at 16 minutes rather than waiting until 18—your oven might run hot.
  • Room temperature eggs and melted chocolate that's been allowed to cool slightly make the batter emulsify better, which creates a silkier crumb instead of a grainy one.
03 -
  • The moment chocolate goes into the microwave, set a timer for exactly 30 seconds—it's the difference between silky and seized, and your oven probably runs slightly differently than you think.
  • Use a small zip-top bag with a corner snipped off if you don't have a piping bag, and you'll get just as much control while using something you already have at home.
