This year, I’d like to share one of my favourite festive baking recipes with you for you to enjoy with your friends and family – festive brownie miniatures!
Brownie Miniatures
Ingredients (Makes 18 – 24)
- 1/3 Cup Packed Brown Sugar

- 3 oz Semisweet Chocolate
- 1/2 tsp Vanilla
- 1 Egg (lightly beaten)
- 1/3 Cup All-purpose Flour
- Chocolate Rosebuds (1 per brownie)
- Small paper baking cups
We used candy cane chocolate kisses instead of rosebuds to top our brownies this year. Feel free to get creative and use your own special topping!
Instructions
STEP 1: Preheat your oven to 350 degrees.
STEP 2: In a saucepan, melt the sugar, butter and chocolate over low heat, stirring until the chocolate is melted.
STEP 3: Remove from heat and let cool for 1 minute.
STEP 4: Blend in vanilla and a lightly beaten egg.

STEP 6: Spread out small paper baking cups on a cookie sheet.
STEP 7: Spoon a tablespoon of the mixture into each paper cup.
STEP 8: Bake at 350 degrees F in oven for 10 to 12 minutes or until set.

STEP 10: Place 1 chocolate rosebud (or your topping of choice) on top of each brownie.

Happy Holidays!
