Chocolate covered brownies are perfect treats for birthdays, special occasions, and Valentine’s Day. It’s great when you’re craving for something sweet too.
These are very easy to make. You’ll need a silicone mold, melted chocolates, and brownies. I like this brownie recipe because it’s soft, chewy, and gooey.
You’ll need:
Preheat oven to 350°F. Line a pan with foil or parchment paper, leaving a couple of inches of overhang on two sides. This will allow you to easily lift the brownies out of the pan later.
Combine granulated sugar and hot butter in a large bowl. Stir it briefly then let it sit for about 5 minutes. Whisk the butter and sugar vigorously for 30 seconds then add eggs, water, and vanilla extract, whisking again until combined.
Sprinkle cocoa powder, powdered sugar, flour, chocolate chips, and salt over the wet ingredients. Use a silicone spatula to stir the mixture until it is well combined.
Pour the batter into a 9×9 pan and smooth the top. Bake for 25-30 minutes (begin checking at 25 minutes). The brownies are done when a toothpick inserted into the center comes out without raw batter on it. Be careful not to overbake. Remove from the oven and let it cool. When the brownies are cool, cut them into 16 pieces.
Melt the chocolates. Add the melted chocolates into the mold then put it in the fridge until firm.
When the chocolates are firm, take them out. Remove the hard edges of the brownies and add it to the chocolate mold. Cover the top with chocolate and put it in the fridge until firm.
Once firm, pop out the chocolate covered brownies. Remove any excess chocolates on the sides. Drizzle chocolate and add sprinkles. Enjoy!

Lunchbox Cakes – Simple and Fun mini cakes
Lunchbox cakes, also known as Korean bento desserts, are petite-sized cakes packaged in takeout boxes. They are simple and fun mini-cakes and can be found in Korean bakeries and cafes.
Most of these mini cakes are frosted in buttercream or whipped cream. The most preferred frosting is buttercream because it has a smooth and creamy texture and it doesn’t need to be refrigerated. Whipped cream, on the other hand, has a delicate and airy texture and will need to be refrigerated.
Lunchbox cakes are great gifts and perfect for any occasion such as birthdays, anniversaries, Valentine’s day, thank you cakes, get well soon cakes, milestones, and smash cakes.
It is bento-sized. The most common Korean lunch box cake is 4 inches. They can also be made in 6 inches and 8 inches. It can be 3-4 inches in height depending on the design.
You can use a regular 4-inch cake pan or a silicone cake mold to bake your cake in. After the cake is done baking, let it cool.
Once the cake is cool, put your first cake layer on a 6-inch parchment paper. Spread your frosting on the first layer and stack the other layer on top. Frost and decorate it with your choice of frosting. I used whipped cream on mine.
Cut some 7-8 inches of tissue paper and place it under the cake. Carefully transfer it to the bento box. I’m using a 6-inch bento box. It’s the perfect size for these mini cakes.
