We have been enjoying the downtime after the holidays and after taking a week off from baking, we have been working on new recipes including these delicious hot cocoa brownie bites. These hot cocoa brownie bites topped with mini marshmallows and mini chocolate chips will surely put you in the mood for winter.
The recipe is top 14 allergen free, gluten free and vegan.
You’ll need our double chocolate brownie mix (which requires just oil and water to bake) and our chocolate frosting mix for frosting. These little bites are delicious to eat aside a glass of your safe milk or hot cocoa.
The first step to making these is to gather all your ingredients and supplies.
