Tips
For neat dipping, chill the brownie squares before covering them in chocolate.
Use high-quality chocolate for the coating to improve flavor.
If the brownie is too soft to cut cleanly, refrigerate it first.
Add a teaspoon of instant espresso powder to the brownie batter for deeper chocolate flavor.

Variations

Nutty: Stir 1/2 cup chopped walnuts or pecans into the batter.
White Chocolate Coating: Dip the bites in melted white chocolate instead of dark.
Sprinkles or Toppings: Add crushed nuts, cookie crumbs, or colored sprinkles after dipping.

Correction
If the brownie bites turn out too crumbly, reduce the baking time slightly and ensure the pan is not overbaked.
If the chocolate coating is too thick, add more coconut oil to thin it.
