Best Brownie Bites With Sea Salt Recipes

THE BEST FUDGY SEA SALT BROWNIES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350F, line an 8x8-inch square pan with aluminum foil for easier cleanup if desired, spray with cooking spray; set aside.
• To a large microwave-safe bowl, add the diced chocolate and butter, and heat on high power to melt for 45 seconds. Stop to check and stir. Heat in 20-second bursts until chocolate can be stirred smooth. Wait momentarily before adding the eggs so you don't scramble them.
• Add the eggs, sugar, vanilla, and whisk to combine.
• Add the flour and stir until just combined, don't overmix or brownies will be tougher. The batter is very dense and thick, this is normal.
• Turn the batter out into the prepared pan, sprinkle with sea salt if desired, and bake for 25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean or with a few moist crumbs, but no batter. Note - The original poster indicates a baking time of 25 to 30 minutes but 30 minutes would have been too long in my oven; however, all ovens, climates, ingredients, etc. vary. Bake until brownies are done given your variables and preference for doneness.
• Allow brownies to cool in pan for at least 30 minutes before serving. Brownies may be stored at room temp or in the fridge and serve chilled. Stored covered or well wrapped, the brownies will keep for up to 5 days, or in the freezer for up to 4 months.

SALTED CARAMEL BROWNIES

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Butter and flour a 9 x 12 x 1 1/2-inch baking pan.
• Melt the butter, 8 ounces of the chocolate chips, and the unsweetened chocolate together in a medium bowl set over simmering water. Allow to cool for 15 minutes. In a large bowl, stir (do not beat) together the eggs, coffee, vanilla, and sugar. Stir the chocolate mixture into the egg mixture and allow to cool to room temperature (see note below).
• In a medium bowl, sift together 1/2 cup of the flour, the baking powder, and salt and add to the chocolate mixture. Toss the remaining 6 ounces of chocolate chips and the remaining 2 tablespoons of flour in a medium bowl and add them to the chocolate mixture. Spread evenly in the prepared pan.
• Bake for 35 minutes, until a toothpick comes out clean. Don't overbake!
• As soon as the brownies are out of the oven, place the jar of caramel sauce without the lid in a microwave and heat just until it's pourable. Stir until smooth. Drizzle the caramel evenly over the hot brownies and sprinkle with the sea salt. Cool completely and cut into 12 bars.

BROWNIE BITES WITH SEA SALT

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Line a mini muffin tin with plain or seasonally colored paper liners.
• Combine butter, sugar, eggs, and vanilla extract in a large bowl. Mix vigorously with a wire whisk until butter is incorporated but you can still see bubbles of butter in the batter. Add flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt. Mix gently until just incorporated; do not overmix.
• Divide batter among the muffin cups using a small ice cream scoop. Gently cover the top of the brownies with a dusting of sea salt flakes.
• Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, 10 to 15 minutes. Transfer to wire racks to cool.

OLIVE OIL BROWNIES WITH SEA SALT

Steps:

• Heat oven to 350 degrees, and grease an 8-by-8-inch square baking dish with some of the olive oil. Line pan with parchment paper, leaving a 2-inch overhang on 2 sides so you can pull the brownies out easily.
• In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, salt and baking powder.
• In a large bowl, whisk together cocoa powder and boiling water until smooth. Whisk in 6 tablespoons oil, melted chocolate, egg and vanilla.
• Whisk in brown and granulated sugars, then fold in flour mixture, then chocolate chips. Scrape into prepared pan, and bake until set and firm to the touch, 20 to 25 minutes.
• Immediately sprinkle brownies with flaky salt while still warm, and let cool. Cut into 16 squares and serve.

SALTED CARAMEL BROWNIE BITES

Steps:

• Heat oven to 350°F (325°F for dark or nonstick pan). Place mini paper baking cup in each of 32 mini muffin cups.
• Make brownie batter as directed on box for cakelike brownies. Fill each muffin cup about three-fourths full.
• Bake 18 to 21 minutes or until toothpick inserted in center of brownie bites comes out almost clean. Cool in pan 5 minutes. Remove from pans to cooling rack. Cool completely, about 20 minutes.
• In small microwavable bowl, microwave caramels and half-and-half uncovered on High 1 minute, stirring every 30 seconds, until caramels are melted and mixture is smooth. Let stand about 15 minutes or until no longer warm to touch.
• In another small bowl, beat softened butter with electric mixer on medium speed until fluffy. Add melted caramel mixture; beat until well blended. On low speed, beat in 1/2 cup of the powdered sugar until smooth, scraping down side of bowl occasionally. Add remaining 1/2 cup powdered sugar; beat until smooth and frosting is fluffy. Beat in 1/8 teaspoon kosher salt.
• Pipe or spread frosting onto each brownie bite. Sprinkle with a small amount of coarse sea salt.
