Ingredients

Scale

Dry Ingredients

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

Wet Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup butter, softened (1 stick)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Sugars

  • 1/2 cup brown sugar
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar

Chocolate

  • 1/2 cup mini chocolate chips
  • 8 ounces German sweet chocolate (chopped)

Instructions

  1. Toast the 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 remove any raw taste. Allow the flour to cool completely before using.
  2. Cream sugars and butter: In a large mixing bowl, combine the brown sugar, granulated sugar, and softened butter. Beat together until the mixture is smooth and well combined.
  3. Add vanilla: Stir in the vanilla extract until the mixture is uniform and creamy.
  4. Combine dry ingredients: Add the cooled toasted flour and cocoa powder into the bowl with the wet ingredients. Mix thoroughly until a soft dough forms, ensuring no lumps remain.
  5. Fold in chocolate chips: Gently fold the mini chocolate chips into the dough using a rubber spatula to evenly distribute them without toughening the dough.
  6. Shape dough balls: Roll the dough into 1-inch balls and place them on a parchment-lined baking sheet, spacing them slightly apart.
  7. Chill: Refrigerate the dough balls for about 20 minutes so they firm up and hold their shape for dipping.
  8. Melt the chocolate: Melt the chopped German sweet chocolate using a double boiler or microwave in short intervals until smooth and glossy.
  9. Dip brownie bites: Using a fork or dipping tool, dip each brownie ball into the melted chocolate, ensuring it is fully coated. Allow any excess chocolate to drip off before returning the bites to the parchment-lined baking sheet.
  10. Set and serve: Let the chocolate coating set at room temperature or chill the baked sheet in the fridge for quicker hardening. Serve once the chocolate is firm.

Notes

  • Toasting the flour is essential to eliminate the raw flour taste and ensure food safety as this is a no-bake recipe.
  • Use good quality German sweet chocolate for a rich, smooth coating.
  • Chilling the dough balls before dipping helps them hold their shape and prevents melting.
  • You can substitute mini chocolate chips with white chocolate or nuts for variation.
  • Store finished brownie bites in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week.
