Baseball Themed Brownie Bites (Printer-Friendly)

Rich, fudgy brownie bites decorated with sweet white icing resembling baseball laces.

# 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

# How To Make:

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 in 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 the batter.
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. Do not overbake.
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 more milk as needed until a thick but pipeable consistency forms.
09 - 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 - Allow icing to set before serving.

02 -
  • Use a small round piping tip (size 2 or 3) for precise baseball laces that look professional
  • If you don't have a piping bag, a zip-top bag with a tiny corner snipped off works perfectly
  • Store unfrosted brownies for up to 5 days, then decorate fresh before serving
  • Freeze unfrosted brownie bites for up to 3 months in an airtight container
  • Let the first curved line of icing set for 1-2 minutes before adding the perpendicular laces to prevent smudging
  • For easier removal from the muffin tin, let brownies cool for exactly 5 minutes—not longer or they may stick
