These No-Bake Brownie Bites are a delightful and easy-to-make treat combining the rich flavors of cocoa and chocolate chips into bite-sized, fudgy balls coated in melted German sweet chocolate.

Ingredients

Scale

Dry Ingredients

  • 3/4 cup all-purpose flour (baked for safety)
  • 1/3 cup cocoa powder
  • 1/2 cup mini chocolate chips

Wet Ingredients

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

Coating

  • 8 ounces German sweet chocolate, chopped

Instructions

  1. Preheat and Bake Flour: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Spread the all-purpose flour evenly on a baking sheet and bake for 5 minutes to kill any bacteria. Remove and let cool completely before use.
  2. Mix Sugars and Butter: In a large mixing bowl, combine the brown sugar, granulated sugar, and softened butter. Mix them together until fully combined and creamy.
  3. Add Vanilla Extract: Stir in the vanilla extract thoroughly until the mixture is smooth and aromatic.
  4. Combine Dry Ingredients: Add the cooled baked flour and cocoa powder to the wet mixture. Mix gently but thoroughly until a soft, workable dough forms.
  5. Fold in Chocolate Chips: Using a rubber spatula, carefully fold the mini chocolate chips into the dough to distribute evenly.
  6. Form Brownie Balls: Roll the dough into 1-inch diameter balls by hand and place them on a parchment-lined baking sheet, spacing them slightly apart.
  7. Chill Dough Balls: Place the baking sheet in the refrigerator and chill the brownie balls for about 20 minutes to firm up.
  8. Melt Coating Chocolate: Melt the chopped German sweet chocolate using a double boiler or microwave in short bursts, stirring frequently until smooth.
  9. Dip and Coat: Dip each chilled brownie ball into the melted chocolate, ensuring they are fully coated. Let any excess chocolate drip off, then return the coated balls to the parchment-lined sheet.
  10. Set Chocolate: Allow the chocolate coating to set by leaving the brownie bites at room temperature or placing them back in the refrigerator for quicker firming before serving.

Notes

  • Baking the flour beforehand is important for safety since the brownie dough is not baked further.
  • Use softened butter to ensure better mixing and texture.
  • Ensure the dough is well chilled before dipping to prevent melting of the coating chocolate.
  • Store finished brownie bites in an airtight container in the refrigerator to maintain freshness.
  • These bites can be customized with nuts or different chocolate coatings as desired.
