Jump to RecipeThese Mini Brownie Bites with Melted Chocolate Dips are a wonderfully fun bake! A rich and fudgy brownie slab gets cut into mini bitesized pieces and dipped into melted chocolate and other good things for a fabulous bite of heaven! These are so easy to make – the brownie recipe keeps things simple with minimal hassle. I keep seeing TikTok’s with a ‘bring a board/platter’ theme, so this would be perfect for that too!
The brownies themselves are super simple, dense and fudgy. The batter gets packed with melted chocolate, chocolate chunks and minimal flour to keep them really fudgy. For neat slices, let come to room temperature before cutting with a hot knife.
For these brownies, we rely heavily on the melted butter and light brown sugar to give the fudgy texture and super shiny topping. To make the shiny top on a brownie, there are arguments as to whether it’s the egg, or the molten sugar in the butter, so let’s make sure to do both. They keep well in an airtight container for a few days. That said, they don’t last long if you’ve got lots of happy hungry mouths in the house!
If you’re looking for a date night baking idea, something for the girls, book club, or just fancy treating yourself, this is a truly fabulous option. Serve up alongside berries, cookies and more for a platter style option! Be the host with the most if you come out the kitchen with this party platter!
TIPS FOR THE BEST Mini Brownie Bites with Melted Chocolate Dips
- Brown Sugar: This is crucial to the perfect fudgy texture and deep flavour. You could use dark brown soft if you’re really in a pinch. Light brown is definitely your best friend in brownies.
- Melted Butter: This is what gives brownies that oh so Instagrammable shiny, crisp top. Don’t skip this step!
- Cocoa Powder: As this is a key component, I do recommend a decent quality cocoa powder – but don’t stress if you don’t have any!
- Chocolate Chunks: I like using chopped milk, white and dark chocolate to add texture. You could use chocolate chips if this is all you have to hand!
- Dips: Take care when warming up anything with a high sugar content. Chocolate will take some time, so heat in 20 second intervals, stirring in between. Things like Nutella and Biscoff just need about 30 seconds to loosen – but go for 10 second intervals as they have a really high sugar content!
For these Mini Brownie Bites with Melted Chocolate Dips, I use a basic 8′ square pan (I like this one). I also recommend a good stand mixer or high speed mixer (like this one) to make the brownie mixture.

Mini Brownie Bites with Melted Chocolate Dips
Ingredients
- 100 g Dark Chocolate Melted
- 170 g Unsalted Butter Melted
- 100 g Light Brown Soft Sugar
- 100 g Granulated Sugar
- 2 Medium Free Range Eggs
- 2 tsp Vanilla Extract
- 85 g Plain Flour
- 30 g Cocoa Powder
- 100 g Milk Chocolate Chopped
- 100 g Dark Chocolate Chopped
For the Dips (Adjust to personal preference)
- 100 g White Chocolate Melted
- 5 tbsp Chocolate Hazelnut Spread
- 5 tbsp Biscoff Spread
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 200C/180C Fan/Gas 6. Line an 8" Square Pan.
- Start by melting the dark chocolate: break up the dark chocolate and melt in the microwave in 20 second intervals, stirring in between to make sure it doesn’t burn. Set aside to cool whilst doing the rest:
- Combine the melted butter, granulated sugar and light brown sugar in a large bowl/bowl of a stand mixer – on a medium speed for 3-5 minutes.
- Add in the eggs and vanilla and mix again. Then add the melted chocolate, checking first that the chocolate isn't so hot as to cook the eggs. Mix again.
- Fold in the flour, cocoa powder, a pinch of salt and the chopped milk and dark chocolate. Pour into the lined pan and bake 30 minutes. Remove and let cool on a wire rack.
- Prepare the dips by warming in the microwave. Spreads (like Biscoff) will need about 20-40 seconds but check regularly as they are prone to burning. Melt the chocolate as before, in 20 second intervals, stirring in between!
- Slice the brownies into 6×6 squares – or as big as you like! Serve immediately with the dips!
