These mini Meltaway Brownie Blossoms are a spectacular one-bite sweet treat. A fudgy homemade brownie batter is baked in mini muffin tins then topped with a candy kiss at the very end. The only hard part about these goodies is stopping with only one.

Meltaway Brownie Blossoms and Origin of Brownies

Americans have a long held love for brownies. The question isn’t if we love them, but how we love them. Should they be fudgy or cake-like, chewy or soft, do we prefer the edges or a gooey center? There are accounts of brownies being developed and served as far back as the late 1800’s by Americans who had developed a love for chocolate. Chocolate itself being first mentioned in the 1600’s by British-American colonists who imported it from Europe. I’m so glad our forefathers and mothers had such good taste. A world without chocolate desserts would be a sad place to be.

Meltaway Brownie Blossoms Recipe

These warm bite-size chocolate brownie blossoms, are crowned with a chocolate kiss which melts and becomes a sweet puddle in the center.

  • I love it when the kiss melts just a bit in the center, but if you want the kiss to keep it’s full shape, let the brownies cool for a few minutes before pressing the kisses into the center. Not completely, or they won’t fuse with the warm meltaway brownie.
  • Serve them while the chocolate is still gooey in the center or at room temperature, they always disappear one bite at a time.
  • Store at room temperature in an airtight container for up to one week.
