Brownie Hearts And Brownie Bites Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 325 degrees. Butter bottom of a 9-by-13-inch baking pan; cut a piece of waxed paper to fit the bottom, and press it onto the buttered surface. In a large microwave-safe bowl, combine butter, brown sugar, and chocolate. Microwave on high for 1 minute; stir. If the chocolate is not softened, continue to microwave at 10-second intervals, removing before it's completely melted.
• Beat eggs and vanilla into the melted chocolate with a wooden spoon. Beat in flour and salt. Pour batter into the prepared pan, and smooth the top. Bake until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out almost clean, 35 to 40 minutes. Let cool.
• Run a knife around the edge of the pan. Turn the brownie cake out onto a baking sheet, and flip over onto a work surface. Cut out the brownies with a 2 1/2-inch heart-shaped cookie cutter. Dust with cocoa if you like. Form the scraps into 1-inch balls, and roll them in the coating of your choice.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
• Over hot water in a small bowl, melt the butter and chocolate together. Let cool to almost room temperature while you prepare the rest of the recipe.
• In a mixer or with a whisk, whip the eggs with the sugar until fluffy. Stir in the vanilla and salt with a wooden spoon. Add the melted chocolate mixture and stir. Add the flour and stir in only until incorporated. Add nuts and mix briefly.
• Grease a non-stick mini muffin (or regular) tin and divide the batter evenly by spoonfuls filling each 3/4 full. Top each with a mini marshmallow, pressing it in slightly. Bake for 20 minutes for chewy brownies and 25 minutes for cake-ier brownie bites. Let cool then ease them out of the pan.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease 2 mini muffin tins.
• Melt butter in a large saucepan over medium heat. Remove from heat. Add sugar, cocoa powder, eggs, and vanilla extract, in that order; beat until well blended. Add flour and baking powder. Beat slowly, gradually picking up speed until batter is smooth. Fold in pecans and peanut butter chips. Divide batter among mini muffin cups.
• Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, 20 to 30 minutes. Let brownies cool for 10 minutes. Drizzle caramel syrup on top.

Steps:

• Heat oven to 350°F (325°F for dark or nonstick pan). Line 8-inch square pan with foil, allowing some to hang over edges of pan. Grease bottom and sides of foil with shortening or cooking spray. Make brownie batter as directed on box. Spread in pan.
• Bake 35 to 38 minutes or until toothpick inserted 2 inches from side of pan comes out almost clean. Cool completely on cooling rack, about 1 1/2 hours. Freeze in pan 15 minutes.
• Using foil to lift, remove brownies from pan, and peel foil away. With deep 2 1/2-inch heart-shaped cookie cutter, cut 7 brownies. Save leftover pieces for snacking.
• Arrange brownies on serving plate. With small strainer, sprinkle brownies and plate with cocoa.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350º F.
• Melt the butter with the chocolate and the salt. You can do this on the stovetop or in the microwave (or be really creative and leave it out in the sun or use a thermonuclear bomb).
• When it has all melted leave it to cool to room temperature.
• In a mixer, combine the sugar with the eggs until fluffy and creamy.
• Beat in the vanilla and add the cooled chocolate mixture.
• Fold in the flour.
• Spray the wells of a mini-muffin pan with non-stick spray or use mini liners.
• Fill each well 3/4 of the way full.
• Push on any desired add-ons, like nuts, candied fruit or sprinkles.
• If you are actually following directions and using a mini-muffin pan, then bake for 25 minutes. Otherwise, if you've decided to bung this into a square cake pan and bake like regular brownies, then bake for 30-35 minutes.
• Keep in mind that if you make this as you would regular brownies and not as the mini-muffins, they will not be as darling as they are meant to be.
