Baseball Themed Brownie Bites (Print)

Fudgy brownie bites with smooth white icing shaped like baseball laces for festive snacking.

# Components:

→ 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

# Directions:

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 granulated 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. Avoid overmixing the batter.
05 - Divide batter evenly among mini muffin cups, filling each approximately three-quarters full.
06 - Bake for 16 to 18 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center emerges 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 yet 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.
