Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Preheat & Prepare:
   • Preheat oven to 350°.
   • Finely chop chocolate bar
2. Melt Chocolate & Mix Wet Ingredients:
   • Melt butter and sugar in a microwave safe bowl and heat in 30 second increments until butter is melted and sugar is dissolved.
   • Stir in chopped chocolate pieces. Stir until melted.
   • Add eggs one at a time and stir well (make sure the butter/sugar/chocolate mixture has cooled slightly so the eggs don’t scramble) then add vanilla. Stir until incorporated.
3. Add the Dry Ingredients:
   • Add cocoa powder, salt, flour and instant espresso powder. Mix just until combined.
4. Bake:
   • Use a 8×8 baking pan that has been lined with parchment paper & sprayed with cooking spray.
   • Bake for 20-25 min.
5. Cook & Crumble:
   • Let the brownies completely cool.
   • In a large bowl, crumble brownies into small crumbs.
6. Form Brownie Bites:
   • Use a medium cookie scoop and press the brownies into it. Scoop the brownie into the palm of your hand and roll into balls. Set on parchment paper.
7. Melt Chocolate & Dip:
   • In a small bowl, pour the vegetable/ coconut oil over chopped chocolate bar. Melt in microwave in 30-sec intervals- each interval stirring the chocolate.
   • Dip the Brownie into the melted chocolate. Use a fork to cover the brownie ball completely.
   • Place onto parchment paper and add the topping of your choice. Place into the freezer for 15 min for the chocolate to harden. Enjoy!

Tips for Perfect Brownie Bites

• Don’t Overbake: To keep them fudgy, take them out of the oven as soon as the centers are set.
• Use Quality Chocolate: High-quality cocoa powder and dark chocolate make a big difference in flavor.
• Add Toppings: Sprinkle with graham cracker crumbs, drizzle with melted peanut butter, or top with crushed nuts for extra flair.
