01 - 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
02 - 1 cup granulated sugar
03 - 2 large eggs
04 - 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
05 - 1/3 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
06 - 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
07 - 1/4 teaspoon salt

09 - 24 large marshmallows
10 - 1 cup dark or semisweet chocolate chips
11 - 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
12 - 24 thin round chocolate wafer cookies
13 - Green icing, store-bought or homemade
14 - Gold sprinkles or edible glitter, optional

# Directions:

01 - Preheat oven to 350°F. Grease a mini muffin pan or line with mini cupcake liners.
02 - In a mixing bowl, whisk melted butter and sugar until combined. Add eggs and vanilla extract, mixing well.
03 - Sift in cocoa powder, flour, salt, and baking powder. Stir until just combined.
04 - Spoon batter evenly into mini muffin cups, filling each approximately 2/3 full.
05 - Bake for 12 to 15 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted comes out mostly clean. Cool completely in the pan.
06 - In a microwave-safe bowl, melt chocolate chips with 2 tablespoons butter in 30-second intervals, stirring until smooth.
07 - Insert a toothpick into each marshmallow. Dip marshmallows into melted chocolate, coating completely. Allow excess chocolate to drip off.
08 - Place each chocolate-dipped marshmallow on top of a chocolate wafer cookie to form a hat. Allow chocolate to set until firm.
09 - Remove brownie bites from pan. Pipe a band of green icing around the base of each marshmallow hat, and add gold sprinkle for the buckle.
10 - Place each Leprechaun Hat on top of a brownie bite. Gently press to adhere. Remove toothpicks carefully.
