Ingredients

Scale

Dry Ingredients

  • 3/4 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/3 cup cocoa powder
  • 1/2 cup mini chocolate chips

Sugars and Butter

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

Flavoring and Coating

  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 8 ounces German sweet chocolate, chopped into pieces

Instructions

  1. Toast the Flour: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Spread the flour evenly over a baking sheet and bake for 5 minutes to toast it lightly, which enhances the flavor. Remove from oven and allow it to cool completely before using.
  2. Cream Sugars and Butter: In a large mixing bowl, use a hand mixer or stand mixer to beat together the brown sugar, granulated sugar, and softened butter until the mixture is creamy and well combined.
  3. Add Vanilla: Pour in the vanilla extract and continue mixing until the mixture is smooth.
  4. Mix Dry Ingredients: Add the cooled toasted flour and cocoa powder into the wet mixture gradually, mixing until it forms a soft, cohesive dough that can be rolled into balls.
  5. Fold in Chips: Gently fold the mini chocolate chips into the dough using a rubber spatula, ensuring even distribution without overmixing.
  6. Shape Bites: Roll the dough into 1-inch diameter balls and place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, spacing them evenly.
  7. Chill the Dough: Place the tray of brownie balls in the refrigerator for about 20 minutes to firm up, making them easier to dip and handle.
  8. Melt the Chocolate: Using a double boiler or microwave-safe container, melt the chopped German sweet chocolate. If microwaving, heat in 20-second intervals, stirring after each burst until the chocolate is smooth and fully melted.
  9. Dip the Bites: Dip each chilled brownie ball into the melted chocolate, allowing any excess to drip off before placing it back onto the parchment-lined baking sheet.
  10. Set the Coating: Let the chocolate coating set at room temperature or speed up the process by refrigerating the brownie bites for a few minutes until fully hardened and ready to serve.

Notes

  • To toast the flour safely, spread it thinly and watch carefully to avoid burning.
  • Make sure the flour is fully cooled before mixing to prevent melting the butter prematurely.
  • You can substitute German sweet chocolate with good quality semisweet or milk chocolate if unavailable.
  • Store the brownie bites in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week.
  • For a nutty twist, fold in chopped nuts along with the chocolate chips.
