# The Ingredients You'll Need:

→ Brownie Bites

01 - 1 cup unsalted butter
02 - 2 cups granulated sugar
03 - 4 large eggs
04 - 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
05 - 1 cup all-purpose flour
06 - 1 cup cocoa powder
07 - 1/2 teaspoon salt
08 - 1 cup chocolate chips
09 - 1/2 cup holiday sprinkles

# Step-by-Step Instructions:

01 - Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) for even baking.
02 - Grease a mini muffin tin thoroughly to prevent sticking.
03 - In a saucepan over medium heat, melt the unsalted butter completely, stirring occasionally.
04 - Remove the melted butter from heat and immediately whisk in granulated sugar, eggs, and vanilla extract until smooth.
05 - Gradually incorporate all-purpose flour, cocoa powder, and salt into the wet mixture, stirring until the batter is consistent.
06 - Gently fold chocolate chips into the batter to evenly distribute.
07 - Spoon batter into the greased mini muffin cups, filling about three-quarters full.
08 - Bake for 15 to 18 minutes until a toothpick inserted comes out with fudgy crumbs but no wet batter.
09 - Allow brownie bites to cool completely in the tin before removing and topping with holiday sprinkles.

# Extra Tips:

01 - Avoid overbaking for extra fudgy bites; check doneness starting at 15 minutes.
02 - Substitute holiday sprinkles with chopped nuts or shredded coconut for variation.
03 - Use room temperature eggs to achieve even batter consistency.
04 - Grease the muffin tin with non-stick spray or butter for easy release.
05 - Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
