Ingredients

Scale

Brownies

  • Brownies for an 8×8 inch pan (homemade or boxed mix)

Chocolate Coating

  • 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • 1 teaspoon shortening or butter

Garnish

  • Sprinkles, as desired

Instructions

  1. Bake the Brownies: Preheat your oven and prepare an 8×8 inch pan by lining it with parchment paper. Prepare the brownie batter according to your chosen recipe or box instructions, then bake as directed. Once baked, let the brownies cool completely at room temperature or speed the process by chilling in the refrigerator.
  2. Cut and Chill: After cooling, cut the brownies into 16 even squares. Place them on a cookie sheet lined with parchment paper, wax paper, or a silicone baking mat (Silpat). Chill these brownie bites in the refrigerator for 1 hour or in the freezer for 15 to 20 minutes to firm up.
  3. Melt the Chocolate: In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the semi-sweet chocolate chips and 1 teaspoon of shortening or butter. Microwave for 30 seconds, then stir thoroughly. Continue microwaving in 15-second intervals, stirring between each, until the chocolate is completely melted and smooth.
  4. Dip Brownie Bites: Dip the tops of the chilled brownie squares into the melted chocolate, ensuring an even coating. Place the dipped brownies back onto the parchment-lined baking sheet.
  5. Add Sprinkles and Set: After dipping 2 to 3 brownie bites, immediately decorate the chocolate with sprinkles. Repeat this process until all brownies are coated and decorated. Finally, chill the tray in the refrigerator until the chocolate topping is fully set, about 15 to 30 minutes.

Notes

  • Using shortening or butter in the chocolate melt helps achieve a smooth and shiny finish.
  • For quicker chilling, use the freezer but monitor to avoid freezing the brownies.
  • Customize sprinkles for different occasions or leave them off for a classic look.
  • Store the chocolate dipped brownies in an airtight container in the refrigerator to keep them fresh and maintain the chocolate coating.
