- Brownie Bites
- 115 g (1/2 cup) unsalted butter
- 170 g (1 cup) semisweet chocolate chips
- 150 g (3/4 cup) granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 65 g (1/2 cup) all-purpose flour
- 1/4 tsp salt
- White Icing
- 60 g (1/2 cup) powdered sugar
- 1–2 tsp milk
- 1/4 tsp vanilla extract (optional)
Instructions
- 1. Preheat oven to 175°C (350°F). Lightly grease a 24-cup mini muffin tin or line with paper liners.
- 2. In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the butter and chocolate chips together in 30-second bursts, stirring until smooth. Let cool slightly.
- 3. Whisk in the sugar, then add eggs one at a time, whisking well after each addition. Stir in vanilla extract.
- 4. Add flour and salt, folding gently until just combined—do not overmix.
- 5. Divide batter evenly among mini muffin cups, filling each about 3/4 full.
- 6. Bake for 16–18 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with moist crumbs. Do not overbake.
- 7. Cool brownies in the tin for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
- 8. For the icing, mix powdered sugar with 1 teaspoon milk and vanilla extract, adding more milk as needed until a thick but pipeable consistency forms.
- 9. Transfer icing to a piping bag or zip-top bag with a small tip. Pipe two curved lines on each brownie bite, then add small perpendicular lines to resemble baseball laces.
- 10. Let icing set before serving.
Zusatztipps für die Zubereitung
Handle the batter gently when folding in flour to maintain a tender texture. Avoid overbaking to keep the brownies moist and fudgy. When preparing the icing, start with 1 teaspoon of milk and add cautiously to achieve the perfect piping consistency.
Varianten und Anpassungen
Add chocolate chips or nuts into the brownie batter for added texture and flavor. For a pop of color, incorporate red food coloring into the icing to replicate authentic baseball laces. You can also experiment with different types of chocolate chips depending on your preference.

Recipe FAQs
- → What is the best way to melt the chocolate and butter?
Melting in short 30-second bursts in the microwave, stirring in between, ensures a smooth and even mixture without burning.
- → How can I tell when the brownie bites are done baking?
A toothpick inserted into the center should come out with moist crumbs but not wet batter, signaling perfect doneness.
- → Can I customize the icing for different looks?
Yes, adding red food coloring to the icing can create authentic baseball lace details or other decorative effects.
- → Is it necessary to cool the brownie bites before icing?
Allowing the brownie bites to cool completely prevents the icing from melting and helps maintain neat, defined lace patterns.

A mini muffin tin for baking and a piping bag or zip-top bag with a small tip for icing are recommended for best results.
