Steps:
- Preheat oven to 350°F and line mini-muffin tins with liners. Spray liners with cooking spray.
- Melt butter and chocolate in a 4-quart heavy pot over moderately low heat, stirring until smooth. Whisk together flour, cocoa, and salt. Remove pan from heat and whisk in granulated sugar. Add eggs, 1 at a time, whisking after each addition until incorporated, and stir in flour mixture just until blended.
- Spoon batter into muffin liners, filling cups to top, and bake in middle of oven 25 to 30 minutes, or until a tester comes out with crumbs adhering. Cool 5 minutes in tins and turn out onto racks. Repeat with remaining batter.
- Dust with confectioners sugar if desired.
These mouthwatering mini brownies are sure to satisfy your sweet tooth. With a crispy outer layer and a soft, gooey center, these bite-sized treats are the perfect addition to any occasion.
Tips:
- Use high-quality chocolate. The type of chocolate you use will have a significant impact on the flavor of your brownies. Opt for a dark chocolate with a cocoa content of at least 70% for a rich, intense flavor.
- Don't overmix the batter. Overmixed batter will result in dry, dense brownies. Mix the ingredients until just combined, then stop.
- Bake the brownies until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with just a few moist crumbs attached. Overbaked brownies will be dry and crumbly.
- Let the brownies cool completely before frosting. This will help the frosting set properly and prevent it from becoming runny.
Conclusion:
These mini brownies are a delicious and easy-to-make treat that is sure to be a hit at your next party or gathering. With their crispy outer layer and soft, gooey center, these bite-sized treats are the perfect way to satisfy your sweet craving. So what are you waiting for? Give this recipe a try today!
