Ingredients
0.5 cup butter, melted
0.75 cup granulated sugar
2 large eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 teaspoon white vinegar
1 tablespoon red food coloring
0.33 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
0.5 cup all-purpose flour
0.25 teaspoon salt
2 oz cream cheese
0.25 cup powdered sugar
1 tablespoon milk
0.25 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a 24-cup mini muffin pan or use mini paper liners.
2. In a large bowl, whisk together melted butter, granulated sugar, eggs, vanilla extract, white vinegar, and red food coloring until fully combined.
3. Sift in cocoa powder, flour, and salt. Stir just until no streaks remain. Do not overmix.
4. Spoon the batter evenly into the mini muffin cups, filling each about 3/4 full.
5. Bake for 10–12 minutes, or until the tops are set and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out with a few moist crumbs.
6. Let the brownie bites cool in the pan for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
7. For the drizzle, combine cream cheese, powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract. Whisk until smooth.
8. Drizzle over cooled brownie bites and serve.
Notes
Don’t overbake! These are meant to be fudgy in the center.
You can skip the cream cheese drizzle for a simpler bite, or dust with powdered sugar instead.
Let them cool completely before storing or freezing for best texture.
