German Chocolate Brownie Bites

The rich cocoa base of these German Chocolate Brownie Bites is a great twist on the classic brownie. They are topped with a sweet coconut-pecan mixture and gooey chocolate chips.

Ingredients:

• 1/2 cup unsalted butter
• 1 cup granulated sugar
• 2 large eggs
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
• 1/3 cup cocoa powder
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1/4 teaspoon baking powder
• 1/2 cup shredded sweetened coconut
• 1/2 cup chopped pecans
• 1/3 cup sweetened condensed milk
• 1/2 cup semisweet chocolate chips

Instructions:

Warm the oven up to 175F 350C

Coat a mini muffin pan with cooking spray or use muffin liners to line it

Melt butter in a bowl that can go in the microwave

Add the eggs, sugar, and vanilla extract and mix them in well

Mix in the baking powder, cocoa powder, salt, and flour, and stir until the mixture is smooth

Fill each mini muffin cup about two thirds of the way to the top with batter

Shred the coconut, chop the pecans, and mix them with the sweetened condensed milk in a small bowl

Place a small amount of the coconut mix on top of each cup of brownie batter

Add the chocolate chips on top of the coconut mix

Before you put it in the oven, heat it up

Bake it for 12 to 15 minutes, or until the edges are set and a toothpick inserted into the middle comes out with moist crumbs on it

Let the brownie bites cool for 5 minutes in the muffin tin before moving them to a wire rack to cool all the way through
