Ingredients
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400°F and line mini-muffin pans with paper liners.
- Melt unsweetened and semi-sweet chocolates with 2 tablespoons of butter using a double boiler. Remove from heat and blend until smooth.
- In a mixing bowl, combine sugar, salt, light corn syrup, vanilla, and almond extract.
- Add eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition.
- Stir in the melted chocolate mixture.
- Gradually fold in sifted all-purpose flour until just combined.
- Pour batter into prepared mini-muffin pans, filling each about two-thirds full.
- Bake for approximately 10 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out with moist crumbs.
- Remove from oven and let cool slightly before removing from pans. Serve warm or at room temperature.
Tips & Substitutions
For a richer flavor, use high-quality chocolate and ensure it is finely chopped for even melting. If you don't have almond extract, vanilla extract can be used instead. To make these brownies gluten-free, substitute all-purpose flour with a 1:1 gluten-free flour blend. Be careful not to overmix the batter after adding flour, as this can lead to a denser texture.
Serving Suggestions
Serve these fudgy brownie bonbons warm, dusted with powdered sugar or drizzled with Hot Fudge In A Hurry for an indulgent treat. They pair beautifully with vanilla ice cream or a scoop of whipped cream for a delightful dessert. These bonbons also make a great addition to a dessert platter alongside Jelly-Tart Cookies or other sweet treats.
Storage & Reheating
Store leftover brownie bonbons in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days. For longer storage, refrigerate them for up to a week. To reheat, place them in the microwave for 10-15 seconds to warm them up slightly without drying them out, making them fudgy and delicious again.
