Ingredients & Tools
- 1 cup flour
- 1 ¼ cups sugar
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 6 ounces dark chocolate bar - broken into pieces
- 5 ounces butter
- 3 eggs
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
You will also need a cake pop maker, which makes these delicious cake bites super easy and quick to make. Technically, if you don't have a cake pop baker, this brownie bites recipe can even be baked in a sheet pan and cut into different shapes with a silicone knife or cookie cutters.
How to Make Brownie Bites
- Combine dry ingredients. In a bowl, combine all dry ingredients (flour, sugar and baking powder).
- Add wet ingredients. Melt the chocolate and butter together using a double boiler, or place a metal bowl over a pot of simmering water and add the chocolate/butter to the bowl to melt it, stirring occasionally. Add the melted chocolate/butter mixture to the dry ingredients and mix together with a wooden spoon. Add the eggs and vanilla. Mix until well combined.
- Bake. Lightly oil the cake pop maker cooking plates. Plug it in to preheat. Pour brownie batter into a piping bag. With the piping bag, transfer the batter into the cake pop maker cavities, to just below the top of the cavity. (Alternatively, you can use a teaspoon to transfer the batter.) Close the lid and bake for about 8 minutes, or until baked through. I like to use a narrow spatula with a heat glove on to remove them.
- Serve. They will be hot inside, so let them cool and enjoy!
Joss' Tips
If you don’t have all of the equipment required in this recipe, don’t worry. Follow these tips:
- A mixing spoon works just as well as a whisk.
- A microwave can be used in place of a double boiler. Melt the chocolate and butter in the microwave, in a microwave safe bowl, at 20 second intervals. Stir each time until fully melted.
- If you don’t have a piping bag, a plastic zip top bag with the corner cut off works just as well. Or, you can skip the bag and use a teaspoon.
Brownie Bites Storage
- Store uneaten brownie bites in an airtight container to preserve freshness, and enjoy for up to 4 days!
- If you don’t want to make the full batch at once, you can freeze the brownie batter for later use.
- You can also freeze the baked fudge brownie bites in a freezer bag for up to 3 months.

I'm wondering if the butter amount in this recipe is wrong. Is it supposed to be 5 tbsp butter? because 5 oz is about a stick and a fourth of butter, which is a lot and my brownies came out raw in the middle no matter how long I baked them in the babycakes maker.
Joss D says
Hi Dara, the butter amount is correct. I have tested this recipe many times and I retried it again today to be sure. After 8 minutes in the cake pop maker, these brownie bites will be crispy on the outside and soft in the middle, but certainly not raw. Did you cool them first? They firm up a bit as they cool.
