How to Make the Recipe

Let’s dive into the step-by-step process:

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F. Spread the flour over a baking sheet and bake for 5 minutes. Remove from the oven and let cool.
  2. Using a hand or stand mixer, beat the brown sugar, granulated sugar, and butter in a large mixing bowl until well combined.
  3. Add the vanilla extract and mix until smooth.
  4. Add the all-purpose flour and cocoa powder, mixing until it forms a soft ball.
  5. Fold in the mini chocolate chips with a rubber spatula.
  6. Roll the dough into 1-inch balls and place on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
  7. Place the brownie balls in the fridge for about 20 minutes to chill.
  8. Using a double broiler or a microwave-safe container to melt the German chocolate. If using a microwave, heat in 20-second bursts, stopping to stir after each interval until the chocolate is smooth.
  9. Dip each brownie bite in the melted chocolate, allowing excess to drip off, before transferring back to the baking sheet. Repeat with all of the brownie bites until they are all coated.
  10. Allow the brownie bites to set before serving (you can speed up the process by popping them back in the fridge for a few minutes).

Pro Tips for Making the Recipe

Here are some tips to ensure your No-Bake Brownie Bites turn out perfectly:

  • Use quality chocolate: The better the chocolate, the richer the flavor. I recommend using high-quality cocoa powder and German chocolate for the best results.
  • Don’t overmix: Mix the dough just until it comes together in a ball. Overmixing can make the dough tough.
  • Chill before coating: Chilling the brownie balls before coating them in chocolate helps the chocolate set faster and prevents the bites from falling apart.
  • Add-ins: Feel free to add your favorite mix-ins like nuts, dried fruit, or even a pinch of salt for extra flavor.

How to Serve

These No-Bake Brownie Bites are perfect as a quick snack or dessert. You can serve them as is, or get creative with how you enjoy them:

  • Serve chilled: Straight from the fridge, they’re firm and fudgy.
  • At room temperature: Soft and gooey, perfect for satisfying your chocolate craving.
  • With a scoop of ice cream: Top them with your favorite ice cream for a decadent treat.

Make Ahead and Storage

One of the best things about these No-Bake Brownie Bites is how well they keep:

  • Make ahead: You can make the dough up to 3 days in advance and store it in the fridge until you’re ready to roll it out.
  • Storage: Store the brownie bites in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 5 days. You can also freeze them for up to 2 months—simply thaw at room temperature when you’re ready to enjoy.
