First, promise me something: Promise me that you will not hide these frozen mocha brownie bites from your husband. Promise me that you won't wrap them individually in plastic wrap and store them inside a bag of frozen asparagus in the back of the freezer. Because that would be selfish. And also, there's a chance that after you sneak one and head back to the couch, you will have a tell-all chocolate stain on your lip, which might lead to questions from your husband, which might lead to an awkward confession.
Not that I would know...
To make these, we're going to use a mini muffin pan to make mini brownie bites. We're going to top them with a scoop of coffee ice cream (the best ice cream flavor in the world, Amen!). After a quick jaunt in the freezer, we're going to dunk them in magic shell (melted chocolate + coconut oil). You're so very welcome.
If you have willpower (what is that?) and won't be eating all 6 brownie bites in one sitting, you should store the brownies at room temperature and pop them back into the muffin pan for their ice cream topping later. You can store them already assembled tightly wrapped in the freezer (not in an asparagus bag), but beware!: let them sit on the counter for at least 10 minutes before trying to eat them. You will break a tooth on frozen brownie if you don't! The magic shell will hold in any ice cream that softens while the brownies defrost slightly.
Here's what they look like before dunking:
The beauty of magic shell is that it hardens immediately when it touches the ice cream. Dunk them quickly and serve.
Just to be clear: these brownie bites are for sharing. Sharing, I say! They are not personal two-bite desserts to be hoarded in the freezer for anytime you have a bad day.

Sharing... what a concept! I would probably eat all of these before I even left the kitchen.
Cathy Pollak ~ Noble Pig says
I am in love...love with these...wow...mocha and chocolate are the best..EVER!
Stephanie @ Eat. Drink. Love. says
These look amazing! I'm not sure I could share them! :)
Faye says
I have a coconut allergy. What can I substitute for the coconut oil?
Christina Lane says
Nothing, because coconut oil is exactly what causes a magic shell to form. I'm sorry.
Nutmeg Nanny says
Oh my, these look divine and addicting! I must make these soon :)
Hayley @ The Domestic Rebel says
Coffee ice cream -- nothing better! Especially when stuffed with lots of chocolate and brownies. These are AWESOME!!
Amanda @ Once Upon a Recipe says
Oh my goodness...I'm so making these, but with cookie dough ice cream. No promises on the sharesies though. As a single lady, no one will be able to see the chocolate stain on my lips! Muah ha ha! ;)
Megan {Country Cleaver} says
Ben will never ever see these. I will make them, hide them and take them out only when I know he is out of work. Is it bad to hide things from you husband? I dont care. I'm doing it.
brandi says
i will make these. but i will not share.
Mimi says
Just out of curiosity, what brand of ice cream did you use for these?
Christina says
Hi Mimi, I used Haagen Dazs coffee ice cream.
Sheila says
LOL - I used to hide the pecans from my then-husband in the freezer in an empty Chock full o'Nuts coffee can.
Thanks for the recipe - no promises about not hiding them - wonder where that coffee can got to?
