Ingredients

Scale

Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup (115g) unsalted butter, melted
  • 3/4 cup (150g) granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1/3 cup (35g) unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1/2 cup (65g) all-purpose flour

Instructions

  1. Prepare the batter: In a mixing bowl, combine the melted butter, granulated sugar, and eggs. Whisk these ingredients thoroughly until smooth and well incorporated to form a rich base.
  2. Add dry ingredients: Sift in the unsweetened cocoa powder and all-purpose flour, then gently fold the mixture until smooth and consistent without overmixing to ensure a tender texture.
  3. Fill mini muffin tins: Lightly grease or line mini muffin tins and pour the batter evenly into each cavity, filling about 3/4 full to allow space for baking.
  4. Bake the chocolate bites: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and bake the mini muffins for approximately 12-15 minutes or until they are just set. A toothpick inserted should come out with a few moist crumbs attached, indicating a fudgy center.
  5. Cool before serving: Remove the mini muffins from the oven and let them cool in the tin for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely, enhancing their texture and flavor.

Notes

  • Make sure not to overbake to retain fudgy texture.
  • Use mini muffin tins for bite-sized servings perfect for parties.
  • Optional: Add a pinch of salt to balance the sweetness if desired.
  • Store in an airtight container to keep fresh up to 3 days.
  • For extra flair, dust with powdered sugar or add a dollop of whipped cream before serving.
