    These Chocolate Chip Brownie Bites are rich and indulgent plus topped with a homemade icing that hardens ever so slightly but is still ooey gooey!Chocolate Chip Brownie Bites with Homemade Icing on red platter with title written on chalkboard

    Can we talk about how long I've been staring at that clump of chocolate icing on the platter that has accumulated beside that brownie in the front row? You see it, the one right in the middle. Seriously just sitting here. Staring it. Trying to come up with words for how much I love chocolate and brownies but all I can think about is how much I wanna scoop that up with my finger. Its been an embarrassing amount of time guys. Like so long that Benson (my sous chef Cockapoo) is now scratching to get out of the room because I've made him uncomfortable.

    I just can't get over how good these little brownie bites are. I actually made these 3 months ago for a fourth of July party and even though I am just now getting to writing the post for them, I can still taste them like I just ate one yesterday. They were so rich, with little pops of chocolate chips, and an icing that was just slightly hardened enough to stay in place but as soon as you bit into it would turn ooey gooey all over again. Make sure you have a glass of milk handy for these little guys because they are wildly indulgent!

    Ohmygosh. I forgot I took a zoomed in view of the icing plop. I can't. I just can't. I HAVE to go make another batch of these right now!

    So let me walk you through it while I do. We're gonna preheat the oven to 350 degrees and spray a mini muffin tin with cooking spray. In a large bowl, sift together 1 C of white sugar, ⅓ C unsweetened cocoa powder, ½ C flour, ¼ teaspoon salt, and ¼ teaspoon baking powder.

    In a small bowl, whisk together 2 eggs with 1 teaspoon vanilla, then add to the dry ingredients.

    In another bowl, melt ½ C butter then allow to cool, and then slowly add to the dry ingredients until just combined. Mix in ½ C semi-sweet chocolate chips.

    Pour into the mini muffin tin, filling each tin about ¾ of the way full, and bake for 20-22 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out clean. Chocolate Chip Brownie Bites with Homemade Icing topped with red and blue sprinkles close up viewMeanwhile, prep the icing by combining 3 tablespoon softened butter, 3 tablespoon unsweetened cocoa powder, 1 tablespoon honey, 1 teaspoon vanilla, and 1 C confectioners sugar by using a hand mixer or a stand mixer with a whisk attachment on low for 30 seconds.

    Slowly add in 3 tablespoon of whole milk or heavy cream 1 tablespoon at a time until desired consistency.

    Once the brownies are done, allow to fully cool, then use a spoon to remove from the muffin tin. If the bottom stays in the pan, you can squish it back onto the brownie bite because they're pretty dense!

    Place the brownie bites onto your serving platter and spoon the icing onto their tops. If you prefer not to have the excess (I do because, hi, more chocolate) you can always spoon over top of a cooling rack with a cookie sheet underneath to catch the excess, then plate them once they have hardened a little.

    Top with sprinkles while still warm, if you wish, serve with milk, and enjoy!Chocolate Chip Brownie Bites with Homemade Icing on red platter overhead shotIf you're looking for more chocolatey goodness, pour yourself a glass of milk then head over to these sweet treats!
