Ingredients

  • 1 18.4oz box brownie mix
  • 2/3 cup vegetable oil
  • 1/4 cup water
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1/2 cup mascarpone cheese softened
  • 1 1/4 to 1 1/2 cup confectioner sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 48 fresh raspberries divided
  • 1/2 cup chocolate hazelnut spread
  • 1/3 cup white chocolate baking discs

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Spray 42-45 cups on mini muffin pans with no stick cooking spray.
  • Prepare brownie mix as directed on the box. Divide batter evenly between the mini muffin cups. (about 1 heaping Tablespoon each)
  • Bake 10-12 minutes or until toothpick comes out almost clean when inserted into center. Do not overbake.
  • Remove from the oven and allow to cool 5 minutes. Using a wooden pastry press, or your thumb, make an indentation into center of each brownie bite. COOL COMPLETELY then run a sharp knife around the edge of each bite and remove from pans. Transfer to a cooling rack.
  • In a medium size bowl, mix the mascarpone cheese, confectioner sugar, vanilla, and 5 raspberries, with an electric mixer until well combined. *** (Start with 1 1/4 cups of confectioner sugar and add more if too thin. The juiciness of raspberries will sometimes make mixture thinner)Set aside
  • Divide the chocolate hazelnut spread evenly between the brownie bites. Place about 1/2 teaspoon in the center of each one.
  • Top each with 1 teaspoon of the mascarpone cheese mixture. Slightly, spread over the brownie. Top each bite with a raspberry.
  • Place white chocolate in a small microwave safe bowl and heat at 15 second intervals until melted. Stir after each interval. Drizzle small amount of white chocolate over each brownie bite.

NOTES
  • DO NOT over mix the batter, 50 strokes is usually what the brownie boxes recommend.
  • DO NOT overbake the brownie bites or they will become too dry. You want to remove them from the oven while the center is still slightly soft.
  • Allow them to cool completely in the pan before removing.
  • Set the brownies out about 20-30 minutes before serving to soften.
