Ingredients

Scale
  • 1/2 cup (115g) unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 cup (200g) granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs, room temperature
  • 1 tsp pure vanilla extract
  • 3/4 cup (95g) all-purpose flour, sifted
  • 1/2 cup (50g) unsweetened cocoa powder, preferably Dutch-processed
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1/4 tsp baking powder
  • 8 oz (227g) white fondant
  • Gel food coloring (optional)
  • Edible markers or fine paintbrushes with food coloring
  • Powdered sugar, for dusting surfaces
  • Small round cookie cutter or bottle cap (about 1.5 inches / 4 cm diameter)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease an 8×8 inch (20×20 cm) baking pan or line with parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk melted butter and granulated sugar until smooth. Add eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in vanilla extract.
  3. In a separate bowl, sift together flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt.
  4. Gradually fold dry ingredients into wet mixture using a spatula until no flour streaks remain. Batter should be thick and fudgy.
  5. Pour batter evenly into prepared pan. Bake for 20-25 minutes or until a toothpick inserted near the center comes out with moist crumbs.
  6. Cool brownies completely in pan on a wire rack for at least 30 minutes.
  7. Cut cooled brownies into small bite-sized squares, about 1.5 inches (4 cm) each, yielding roughly 24 bites.
  8. Knead fondant until smooth and pliable. Dust work surface with powdered sugar and roll fondant to about 1/8 inch (3 mm) thickness.
  9. Use cookie cutter or bottle cap to cut out fondant circles for caps.
  10. Optionally tint fondant with gel food coloring and personalize with edible markers or fine brushes.
  11. Place one fondant cap gently on each brownie bite. If needed, lightly brush brownie tops with a tiny bit of water to help adhere fondant.

Notes

Do not overbake brownies to keep them moist. Use room temperature eggs for better texture. Knead fondant well before rolling to avoid cracks. Use gel food coloring sparingly to prevent stickiness. Fondant caps can be prepared ahead and stored airtight at room temperature. Store brownies separately from fondant if refrigerating or freezing.
