Baseball Themed Brownie Bites (Printable)

Rich brownie bites decorated with sweet white icing laces, ideal for game day treats or themed gatherings.

# What You Need:

→ 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

# How To Make It:

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. Let cool slightly.
03 - Whisk in the 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. Do not overmix.
05 - Divide batter evenly among mini muffin cups, filling each approximately 3/4 full.
06 - Bake for 16 to 18 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with moist crumbs. Do not overbake.
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 more milk as needed until a thick but pipeable consistency forms.
09 - Transfer icing to a piping bag or zip-top bag with a small tip. Pipe two curved lines on each brownie bite, then add small perpendicular lines to resemble baseball laces.
10 - Let icing set before serving.

# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • They're fudgy and intensely chocolate without being heavy or cake-like.
  • The decorating part is surprisingly fun and forgiving, even if your icing lines aren't perfectly straight.
  • You can make two dozen in one batch, so parties suddenly feel less stressful.
02 -
  • Overbaking these brownies turns them from fudgy to dry in seconds, so use a timer and check at 16 minutes.
  • Cold brownies are easier to decorate than warm ones, and the icing sets faster on a cool surface.
03 -
  • Room temperature ingredients blend more smoothly together, so pull your eggs and butter out of the fridge 20 minutes before you start.
  • Piping the icing is forgiving because baseball laces don't have to be perfect—wonky lines actually look more authentic and handmade.
