Instructions
Brownie Cups
- Preheat oven to 350°F and prepare a 24-cavity mini muffin tin by spraying with baking spray or lightly greasing and flouring. Make sure that you spray/grease and flour not only the wells, but also the top of the muffin tin around each well.
- Place butter and chocolate chips in a large, microwave-safe bowl and microwave on 30-second increments (stirring in between) until completely melted.
- Stir in cocoa powder.
- Add sugars, and stir well.
- Add vanilla extract and instant coffee (if using) and stir in eggs and egg yolk, one at a time. Set aside.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt.
- Gradually add flour mixture to batter, stirring until completely combined.
- Use a 1 ½ tablespoon-sized cookie scoop to drop batter into prepared muffin tin wells.
- Lightly dampen your fingertips and use them to lightly tamp down the batter for a smooth surface.
- Bake on 350°F for 18-21 minutes (until centers of brownie bites are cooked and an inserted toothpick comes out clean/with few crumbs).
- Allow brownie cups to cool for 5 minutes, and then use a rounded teaspoon to press into the center of each brownie bite and create a well (press a little more than halfway into each brownie bite).
- Allow brownie bites to cool another 10-15 minutes in the muffin tins, and then gently remove to cooling rack to cool completely.
- Meanwhile, prepare the ganache.
Chocolate Ganache
- Combine chocolate chips, heavy cream, and butter in a small saucepan over medium-heat.
- Stir frequently until chocolate is completely melted and mixture is smooth.
- Remove from heat and stir in vanilla extract, bourbon (if using), and salt. Stir well.
- Allow mixture to cool slightly at room temperature, about 10 minutes.
- Use a small spoon to pour ganache into the indent of each brownie.
- Sprinkle mallow bits over ganache before it can harden completely
- Allow ganache to firm up before eating (about 1-2 hours -- or you can enjoy them warm, it'll just be a bit messier).
