Baseball Themed Brownie Bites (Printable Version)

Rich fudgy brownie bites adorned with sweet white icing laces, ideal for themed celebrations and snacks.

# What You Need:

→ 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 Make:

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 the butter and chocolate chips together in 30-second intervals, 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 to the chocolate mixture, folding gently until just combined. Do not overmix.
05 - Divide batter evenly among mini muffin cups, filling each approximately 3/4 full.
06 - Bake for 16 to 18 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center emerges 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.

# Cooking Tips:

01 -
  • They're fudgy and rich but bite-sized, so nobody feels guilty sneaking a second one right after the first.
  • The decoration part is honestly fun—it feels less like decorating and more like playing, which means anyone can make them look impressive.
  • They stay fresh for days in a container, making them perfect for parties where you need something already made.
02 -
  • Don't overbake these—that toothpick test is the difference between a fudgy bite and a dry one, and the moist crumbs clinging to it are exactly what you want to see.
  • Room temperature ingredients mix together faster and create a smoother batter, so pull your eggs and butter out a few minutes early.
03 -
  • Brown your butter slightly before melting it with the chocolate—it adds a subtle nutty depth that makes people wonder what your secret ingredient is.
  • Use a toothpick test religiously; it's the most reliable way to tell when they're done, and it only takes five seconds.
