Baseball Themed Brownie Bites (Print Version)

Rich fudgy brownie bites topped with sweet white icing laces for a fun, game day treat.

# What You'll Need:

→ Brownie Bites

01 - 1/2 cup unsalted butter
02 - 1 cup semisweet chocolate chips
03 - 3/4 cup granulated sugar
04 - 2 large eggs
05 - 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
06 - 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
07 - 1/4 teaspoon salt

→ White Icing

08 - 1/2 cup powdered sugar
09 - 1 to 2 teaspoons milk
10 - 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract

# Steps to Follow:

01 - Preheat oven to 350°F. Lightly grease a 24-cup mini muffin tin or line with paper liners.
02 - In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the butter and chocolate chips together using 30-second bursts, stirring until smooth. Allow to cool slightly.
03 - Whisk in the sugar, then add eggs one at a time, whisking well after each addition. Stir in vanilla extract.
04 - Add flour and salt, folding gently until just combined. Do not overmix.
05 - Divide batter evenly among mini muffin cups, filling each approximately 3/4 full.
06 - Bake for 16 to 18 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with moist crumbs. Avoid overbaking.
07 - Cool brownies in the tin for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
08 - Mix powdered sugar with 1 teaspoon milk and vanilla extract, adding additional milk as needed until achieving a thick but pipeable consistency.
09 - Transfer icing to a piping bag or zip-top bag fitted with a small tip. Pipe two curved lines on each brownie bite, then add small perpendicular lines to resemble baseball laces.
10 - Allow icing to set before serving.

# Additional Tips::

01 -
  • They're fudgy and rich but small enough that you don't feel guilty eating three at once.
  • The icing detail transforms a simple brownie into something Instagram-worthy without requiring a degree in cake decorating.
  • Kids actually help decorate them, which means less time you spend piping and more time everyone spends laughing together.
02 -
  • The difference between fudgy and dry brownies comes down to not overbaking by even two minutes; a toothpick with moist crumbs is your only reliable indicator.
  • Piping bag pressure matters—too much and your icing lines become blobs, too little and nothing comes out, so practice on a plate first if you're nervous.
03 -
  • Don't skip the cooling step—trying to decorate warm brownies is like icing a cake fresh from the oven, and your icing will slide right off.
  • If your icing is too thick to pipe, add milk one drop at a time instead of pouring it in; too thin and you'll be starting over.
