Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, melted
- 2 cups granulated sugar
- 4 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1/2 cup white chocolate chips, melted (for decorating)
- Black food coloring
- Orange food coloring
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a mini muffin tin or line with mini muffin liners.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the melted butter and granulated sugar until well combined.
- Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla extract.
- In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
- Stir in the semi-sweet chocolate chips.
- Divide the batter into three portions. Leave one portion plain. To the second portion, add a few drops of black food coloring and mix until uniformly colored. To the third portion, add a few drops of orange food coloring and mix until uniformly colored.
- Spoon small amounts of each colored batter into the prepared mini muffin cups, swirling gently with a toothpick to create a marbled effect.
- Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with moist crumbs.
- Let the brownie bites cool in the tin for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Once cooled, melt the white chocolate chips. Divide into two small bowls. Tint one bowl with a tiny amount of black food coloring and the other with orange food coloring.
- Drizzle the colored white chocolate over the cooled brownie bites to create spooky designs (webs, ghosts, stripes). Let the chocolate set before serving.
Notes
- For extra spookiness, you can add Halloween-themed sprinkles after drizzling the white chocolate.
- Ensure the brownie bites are completely cool before decorating to prevent the white chocolate from melting.
- The food coloring amounts may vary depending on the brand. Add gradually until desired color is achieved.
