You're making bite-sized chocolate monsters with a fudgy brownie heart, crispy chocolate shell, and fuzzy sprinkle coat – no complicated baking skills needed. The main steps involve melting chocolate and butter together, mixing in egg and sugar, baking a thin brownie base, then crumbling it up and rolling it into balls to dip and decorate with melted chocolate, sprinkles, and edible eyes.

Chocolate base
In a saucepan (or over a bain-marie) over low heat, melt the butter with the broken-up dark chocolate. Stir until you get a smooth, glossy emulsion. Be careful not to burn the chocolate – you just want to melt it, not cook it.

Adding the egg and sugar
In a bowl, mix the sugar, vanilla extract and a pinch of salt. Whisk in the egg. Pour this egg mixture into the saucepan with the melted chocolate and butter (off the heat). Mix everything thoroughly until the batter is glossy and thick.

Finishing the brownie batter
Finally, fold in the flour briefly. The rule here is: don't overmix! Just stir until the flour disappears. Pour the batter into a small tin or baking dish lined with baking paper.
