Chocolate Chip Brownie Bites are absolutely decadent, bite-sized treats, overflowing with chocolate chips and cheesecake swirl filling.
Looking for a great dessert treat? This recipe is one of the “small bite” desserts I made for Easter brunch. I found the recipe on Pinterest, and decided to make some for everyone to enjoy!
I loved making a variety of bite-sized desserts for our brunch. Here’s a photo of all of them, including Chocolate Dream Cups with Raspberry Mousse, Lemon Curd Filled Won Ton Cups, and Spring Flower Sugar Cookies!
Since the chocolate chip brownie bites are made in miniature muffin tins, the recipe yields approximately 32 little bite-sized treats! This is a wonderful, “easy to make” recipe for a large group. So yummy! Hope you enjoy them, friends! Here’s how to make them.
Make The Brownie Batter
Melt butter in a small saucepan over medium heat. Set the saucepan aside. Combine granulated sugar, cocoa powder and salt in a separate, large bowl. Add the melted butter and vanilla to this mixture, and mix until combined.
Stir eggs into the batter, one at a time. Once batter is shiny and thick, add flour and mix it in well. Keep stirring until all the ingredients have been incorporated. Fold the chocolate chips into the batter. Set the batter aside while you make the cheesecake filling.
Make The Cheesecake Filling
In a large mixing bowl, beat together all the ingredients for the cheesecake batter. This filling is made using cream cheese, powdered sugar, vanilla and an egg yolk. Once fully smooth and combined, set the bowl aside.
Time To Assemble The Brownie Bites
Lightly grease miniature muffin cups. Spoon about a tablespoon of the brownie batter into each of the wells of the prepared muffin tin(s).You may need to make chocolate chip brownie bites in batches, because this recipe yields about 32 brownie bites.
Add the cheesecake batter by large dollops onto each of the muffin cups of chocolate batter. Divide the cheesecake filling evenly between the cups.
Time to Bake These Little Treats!
Use a knife to gently swirl the brownie batter and cheesecake batter together in each muffin cup. Place the muffin tin in the oven, and bake at 350°F for 15-20 minutes or until done.
It’s easy to test for doneness by inserting a toothpick down into the top of one of the brownie bites. If the toothpick comes out clean, they’re finished baking. Transfer pan to a wire rack to cool.
Enjoy The Chocolate Chip Cheesecake-Swirl Brownie Bites!
Once the chocolate chip brownie bites have cooled to room temperature, grab one and take a big bite! They’re very chocolatey and the cheesecake filling adds another level of taste to mini treats.
Here’s a close up look at one of these cute little Chocolate Chip Cheesecake-Swirl Brownie Bites (yum). See that cheesecake filling inside? Go for it… take a bite and see how good they are!
Sure hope you have the opportunity to try these chocolate chip brownie bites! They are really delicious! Thanks for stopping by, and please come back again soon for more family-friendly recipes.
Take care, God bless you, and have a GREAT day.

Chocolate Chip Brownie Bites are absolutely decadent, bite-sized treats, overflowing with chocolate chips and cheesecake swirl filling.
- 1/2 cup butter (+ 2 Tablespoons)
- 1 1/4 cups granulated sugar
- 3/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder (+ 2 Tablespoons)
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 large eggs , cold
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
- 3/4 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 8 oz. cream cheese , softened
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar (+ 2 Tablespoons)
- 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 large egg yolk
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Spray one or two miniature muffin tins with a non-stick cooking spray; set aside.
Using a small saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Set aside.
Combine granulated sugar, cocoa powder and salt in a large bowl. Add melted butter and vanilla. Mix into dry ingredients until well combined. Stir in eggs, one at a time. Once batter looks shiny and thick, add flour and mix it in well. Keep stirring until ingredients have been incorporated. Fold the chocolate chips into the batter. Spoon about a tablespoon of the brownie batter into each of the wells of prepared muffin tin(s).
In a separate bowl, beat the cheesecake swirl ingredients (softened cream cheese, granulated sugar, vanilla extract and egg yolk) together until fully combined. Add a dollop of the cheesecake swirl batter (about 1/2 Tablespoon) to the top of each brownie cup. Take a knife and gently swirl the cheesecake batter down into the brownie batter.
Bake at 350 degrees for 15-20 minutes (until toothpick comes out clean). Check them at 15 minutes. Keep an eye on them so you don't overcook them! When done, remove them to a wire rack to cool. Let brownie bites COOL before trying to remove them from the pan. Repeat process with remaining batter (if making them one muffin tin at a time)...then ENJOY!!!!!
***These brownie bites also freeze very well, if by some miracle there are any left... just sayin'!
