Method
Preparation
- 1
Preheat the Oven
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). This ensures that your Sweet Bites bake evenly.

Prepare Baking Pan
Grease a 9x13 inch baking pan or line it with parchment paper to prevent sticking.
Mixing
- 3
Cream Butter and Sugar
In a large bowl, cream together the unsalted butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy, about 3-5 minutes.
- 4
Add Eggs and Vanilla
Add eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.

Combine Dry Ingredients
In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, salt, and cocoa powder until well combined.
- 6
Combine Mixtures
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring until just combined. Avoid overmixing.

Add Chocolate Chips and Nuts
Fold in the chocolate chips and chopped nuts (if using) until evenly distributed throughout the batter.
Baking

Cool and Cut
Once baked, remove from the oven and let it cool in the pan for 10 minutes. Then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely before cutting into squares.
