Brownie Bites with Raspberry Chocolate Topping




Peg first made non-GF Brownie Bites for her co-workers. Since they were such a hit, she decided to make a gluten-free version of them.

The outside is slightly crispy, but the inside is moist and chewy - like a...brownie. Kinda funny how that works...

If you are making this recipe for a gluten-free guest, please read our Guide to Gluten Cross-Contact.



Gluten-Free Brownie Bite Ingredients

4 squares BAKER'S Unsweetened Chocolate
3/4 cup butter
2 cups sugar
3 eggs
1 tsp double strength vanilla [Penzey's]
2 cups GF flour mix [Jules GF Flour Mix]
1/2 cup GF sorghum flour [Bob's Red Mill]
1/8 tsp xanthan gum
