Notes
Storage:
To Store: Store your brownies at room temperature in an airtight container for 3-4 days.
To Freeze: Once cooled, you can freeze these brownie bites in a freezer safe bag or container for up to 2 months.
Tips:
This recipe is so simple to make. Just be sure not to overbake the brownie bites or they will lose their incredibly fudgy texture. You’ll know they are done when a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with moist crumbs and isn’t completely dry.
Allow the brownie batter to cool before adding the chocolate chips or they will fully melt and you will lose the added layer of texture.
Properly grease your muffin pan or line with cupcake wrappers so that it is easy to remove the bites.
