- ¼ cup cocoa powder
- ¼ teaspoon salt

Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line your mini muffin tin with parchment paper.
- Melt the semi-sweet chocolate chips and butter in a microwave-safe bowl, stirring in 20-second intervals until smooth.
- Whisk together sugar, eggs, and vanilla in another bowl until well combined.
- Combine the melted chocolate mixture with the sugar and egg mixture, stirring until smooth.
- Gently fold in flour, cocoa powder, salt, and peppermint extract until just combined.
- Fill each mini muffin cup 3/4 full with the brownie batter.
- Bake for 12-15 minutes until the tops are set, and a toothpick comes out with a few moist crumbs.
- Allow the brownie bites to cool in the tin for a few minutes, then transfer them to a cooling rack.
- Melt the white chocolate chips and drizzle or pipe over the brownie bites. Immediately sprinkle with candy cane bits.
- Let the icing set, and your Homemade Chocolate Peppermint Brownie Bites are ready to enjoy.
Notes
- Don't overmix the batter to keep the brownie bites tender.
- For easy icing, use a piping bag or a small zip-top bag with the corner snipped off.
- Wait for the brownie bites to cool completely before adding icing for the best results.
