📝 Preparation Steps

Step

For the brownies: Preheat the oven to 350˚F and generously butter and flour a mini-muffin pan. Melt the chocolate and butter in a medium saucepan over low heat. Remove from the heat and set aside for ⏱️ 10 minutes to cool.

Step

Stir the sugar into the melted chocolate mixture, then stir in the eggs, one at a time, and the vanilla. Stir in the flour and cocoa powder, mixing until just combined. Scoop generous teaspoonfuls of batter into each mini-muffin cup but don’t overfill them.

Step

Bake the brownies until set, 10 to ⏱️ 12 minutes, rotating the pan halfway through. Remove from the oven and let cool ⏱️ 10 minutes, then invert the brownies onto a cooling rack. Flip them over and press gently to flatten the domed tops so the brownies will sit flat on the serving tray. Let cool completely.

Step

For the glaze: Mix the heavy cream with the corn syrup in a microwave-safe container and microwave until hot. Put the chopped chocolate in a bowl. Add the vanilla to the warm cream mixture, then pour over the chopped chocolate. Stir until the chocolate totally melts and the mixture is smooth.

Step

For the decorations: Using kitchen shears, cut the sour candy belt into twelve 1 1/2-inch strips. Make a V-cut on one end of each strip. Turn the chocolate squares upside-down. Using a toothpick, dab a small amount of the glaze onto the center of each chocolate square and top with a mini candy-coated chocolate. Use more of the glaze to attach a sour belt tassel to each.

Step

Dunk the brownie bites in the remaining glaze, spooning it over to fully coat. Lift out with a fork, tapping the fork on the side of the bowl several times so the excess drips off. Carefully set wide-side down on a sheet of wax paper. Cap each brownie with a decorated chocolate square while still wet. Let set, about ⏱️ 20 minutes.
