What to Buy
This no-bake recipe uses one box of brownie mix plus a few pantry ingredients you likely already have.
Ingredients / Shopping List
- One 19 oz box brownie mix
- Chocolate syrup (2 Tbsp)
- Corn syrup (2 Tbsp)

- Valentine’s Day sprinkles (about 1 cup)
Extra supplies: a large microwave-safe bowl, rubber spatula, candy or instant-read thermometer, spoon or small cookie scoop, and a baking sheet or plate for chilling.
Is it OK to eat uncooked brownie mix?
To make boxed brownie mix safe to eat without baking, heat the dry mix in the microwave in short intervals until it reaches 160°F. This step reduces any food-safety risk. If you prefer, buy a mix specifically labeled for no-bake use and skip the heating step.
How to Make No-Bake Brownies
These bite-sized brownies are ideal for an afternoon snack or a Valentine’s Day treat. Follow these steps to assemble them quickly.
1. Put the dry boxed brownie mix into a large microwave-safe bowl. Microwave in 30-second increments, stirring between intervals, for about 1–2 minutes total, or until the mixture reaches 160°F on a candy or instant-read thermometer.
2. Remove the bowl from the microwave and stir in the wet ingredients: 2 tablespoons corn syrup, 2 tablespoons chocolate syrup, and 1/4 cup water. Mix until smooth and uniform.
3. Pour sprinkles into a shallow dish or several dishes if you want different coatings.
4. Use a tablespoon or a small cookie scoop to portion the brownie mixture. With slightly damp hands (this helps prevent sticking), roll each portion into a ball.
5. Roll each ball in the sprinkles to coat, then place on a wire rack, baking sheet, or plate. Repeat until all the batter is used.
6. Chill the brownie bites in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour before serving. Serve chilled for the best texture and flavor.
Optional Toppings
Swap sprinkles to match other holidays or mix in different coatings for texture and flavor. Ideas include:
- Crushed nuts
- Mini chocolate chips
- Melted dark chocolate with a sprinkle of sea salt
- Peanut butter chips
- Drizzled caramel sauce
- Coconut flakes
- Chocolate frosting
How to Store No-Bake Brownie Bites
Keep leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator. Placing parchment paper between layers prevents sticking, and the sprinkles help keep bites separated. Chilled bites stay fresh for several days.
