Step-by-Step Instructions:

- Add Flour: Gently fold in the flour until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
- Fill Muffin Tins: Spoon the batter into the prepared muffin tin, filling each cup about two-thirds full.
- Add Toppings: If desired, sprinkle chocolate chips, nuts, or sprinkles on top of each brownie bite.

- Cool and Serve: Let the brownie bites cool in the muffin tin for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely. Serve and enjoy!
What to Serve Victory Brownie Bites With
Victory Brownie Bites are delicious on their own, but they can be enjoyed as a pairing with complementary options as well. Pair them with a scoop of vanilla ice cream, a dollop of whipped cream, or a drizzle of chocolate sauce for an extra decadent treat. They also go well with a cup of coffee or a glass of cold milk.
Top Tips for Perfecting Victory Brownie Bites:
- Don’t Overbake: Overbaking is brownie bites’ greatest enemy. Be sure to watch them closely and remove them from the oven as soon as a toothpick comes out with moist crumbs attached.
- Customize the Swirl: Experiment with different extracts, nuts, or even a swirl of caramel or peanut butter for unique brownie bites.
- Use High-Quality Cocoa: Use high-quality cocoa powder for the best flavor of brownies that everyone will brag about.
- Let Them Cool: Letting the brownie bites cool in the muffin tin will give them a fudgier texture and make them easier to remove.
Storing and Reheating Tips:
Storing: Store any leftover brownie bites in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days. They will stay soft and fudge and remain in perfect condition.
Reheating: While brownie bites are delicious cool, reheating them for a few seconds in the microwave results in a gooey and comforting treat. Just reheat a few seconds at a time.
