The other day I saw someone post some beautiful two bite brownies and I immediately had a craving. But when I used my regular brownie recipe they were not nearly as moist and delicious in a two bite form. This led me on a quest to make the perfect gooey chocolaty two bite brownies!

The key to making these dense and gooey was taking out any rising agents. I also added chocolate chips so you will get bits of melted chocolate. This brownie recipe is easy because it can be made in one bowl so you can cut down on the kitchen mess.

(see all that ooey gooey goodness????)

I made a couple different batches before I found the perfect one. I had to start handing them out to family just to get all these brownies out the house! I took some from each batch over to my grandma’s where she meticulously taste tested everything I brought her and added her comments. She turns 90 in a couple months, and she seems to enjoy being my taste tester, so I continue to take them over to her. I knew I was getting close when she had downed four of them before I had even left the house. When I pointed it out to her she was offended that I had been counting. Sorry Grandma.

PAN PREP

The first thing I do is prepare the pan. You will need a mini muffin/cupcake pan. When I started working on my recipe I was concerned that if I made the brownies too gooey I would never be able to get them out of the pan. This recipe, however, hardens the outside just enough to easily pop out of the pan and still have a gooey center. I grease the cups of the pan with vegetable shortening. I put a gob on paper towel and spread it into all the nooks of the muffin cup. I don’t want it spread to thin, so I make it so you can see the shortening.
