Wilton Bite-Size Brownie Squares Silicone Mold, 24-Cavity

I purchased this to make brownie pops (of sorts). As others noted, the directions are not only lacking, but plain not there! Several reviews mention they did some cool-sounding stuff with the pan, but I had a difficult time finding much info in these reviews or Wilton's blog. I washed the pan by hand and dried each corner with paper towel. I used a Misto with veg. oil to grease the pan and everything came out perfectly. The silicone must be placed on a cookie sheet to stay level- I'm not sure how others pulled it off without one. It doesn't take much to fill each cavity half way, maybe less than a TBS. I used a small cookie scoop to fill them and only about half a scoop worth in each cavity. My first batch was with cheep-o Great Value boxed mix. I followed the package directions (350) for the "2 egg/Fuggie" option & baked for 20-23 min. The few extra minutes helped when covering these in candy melts. I'd probably stick with 20 min. if I wasn't dipping them. I left them on the cookie sheet to cool for 15 minutes before turning the mold upside down. The outside rows slipped out, but it helped to let the middle two rows cool a bit more. Cleaning wasn't difficult. Most of my brownies slipped out and I just washed by hand with a sponge. I did pay extra attention to corners, but they're easy to get to with the silicone. If using a mix, I've found the cheaper ones work better. Some of the pricier specialty mixes turn out too airy to keep a shape. I used the same method for cake as well; also using boxed mix. After slowly baking one pan at a time, my homemade recipes weren't worth the extra effort. My primary complaint with the mold is that the squares are very small. Each measures 1.5W x 1.5L x 0.5D. I'd bet these are half the size of a standard ice cube tray or about the size of bite-sized candy bars. I'm probably just a pig, but I want at least two or three bites. I ended up stacking two squares (with frosting between them) before dipping them in chocolate. This is nice when doing small layered cake pops (that don't taste soggy!) but inconvenient when you want all brownie. I made a lemon & margarita cake pop that was a hit and could see trying different flavors. I plan on using the mold for baby food, but still might like it a bit larger. Despite my hesitance, I really like the mold. I've used it several times now and will be using it for two more projects today. It does take some getting used to, but I didn't experience any of the problems others reported. I would recommend this, but you might want to give yourself a test run to see how much to fill each cavity with your mix (each has turned out slightly differently). I'm glad I purchased mine and plan on ordering another one soon. Mostly I'm thrilled that I can make a Pop without all the extra frosting and mush!

I bought this pan because I was asked to make a Tetris birthday cake for my grandson's birthday. I needed to make small square cakes that could be iced in different colors and arranged in a pattern to resemble a Tetris game in progress. I filled and baked 6 pans of these cakes. It took a little practice to know how much batter to put in each square (I found the best was around 2/3 full). I tried using Pam oil spray but the cakes stuck a bit so I switched to baking spray (the kind that has flour in it along with oil) and it worked perfectly. NOTE: Don't spray into each square separately. That made the cakes kind of oily. Instead hold the pan by the "lip" vertically over the sink (to catch any over-spray) and then spray across the whole pan in an even motion as you would with spray paint. This method deposited just enough spray in the squares without pooling and the cakes popped out with no sticking. I was surprised at how long the cakes took to cook through. They were so small I thought they'd be done in less than 10 minutes but they took 19-20. I was using a recipe that has bits of chocolate and fudge in the batter so that could have been the cause. I ended up stacking two of the little cakes with frosting in between for some height (each square is only an inch deep) to make cake "sandwiches" before frosting the tops in the Tetris colors. It's a great pan, washed up well, and the cake was a big hit!

I bought this pan, but when I went to use it, like other reviewers, I found that Wilton basically only gave washing and heat temperature restrictions for this pan, but no baking instructions. If you are using a brownie mix, the box only gives instructions for normal pans, which don't work with the smallness of these individual brownies. So, I experimented and they turned out PERFECT the first time!! I never write reviews but wanted to share what I learned in hopes that it will help someone else. I used a box of Ghirardelli Double Chocolate Brownie Mix (I'm not promoting the brand, but just wanted to give exact information of what I did. BTW - they are the best boxed brownie mix I've ever used. TO DIE FOR). Anyway. I made the mix as instructed on the box, preheated the oven to 325. I used the Baker's Joy non-stick cooking spray with flour in it (didn't want to take any chances with brownies sticking to pan as some other reviewers reported). For easier filling, I poured the batter into a large ziploc storage bag and snipped off a small bit on one corner (make sure you snip off enough for the chocolate chips that are in this mix to squeeze through). I squeezed a little batter into each square, about 1/2 way full. I put the silicone brownie bite pan onto a metal non-stick cookie sheet for stability and baked one pan for 20 minutes. I removed from the oven after 20 minutes and cooled the brownie bite pan (without the cookie sheet) on a wire rack to cool for 20 minutes. I inverted the brownie pan onto the cookie sheet I had used to bake them on, tapped the brownie pan gently on each square, and then gently lifted the pan and softly squeezed out each little cooked brownie cube. PERFECT!!!! No sticking, no breaking, no crumbling, not even one!! Love this pan and I just ordered another one so I won't have to wait for it to cool in between batches. I was able to get 47 brownie bites out of the one box of 18 oz. mix I used. Hope this info helps someone else.

This silicone mold is a versatile and user-friendly baking tool that makes perfectly uniform mini brownies every time. I love how the silicone is flexible enough to pop the brownies out easily without sticking, yet sturdy enough to hold its shape in the oven. What sets this mold apart from others I’ve tried is the consistent size and appearance it creates. Great for parties, snacks, or portion control. Cleanup is a breeze since it’s dishwasher safe and non-stick. The only minor drawback is that if your brownie batter is very thin, it can spread a bit unevenly, so you may need to watch the portioning. Overall, this mold is a solid choice for anyone who loves baking bite-sized treats and wants a reliable, long-lasting tool.

After reviewing several products for freezing homemade baby food, and having used a few while doing years of nanny work, I settled on this product. It was a great purchase! Not only does it make perfect 1oz portions but is a wonderful square shape that can fit in most baby bowls/food cups much better than a rectangle or oblong shape that ice cube trays or baby food trays make. I have not found that it holds smells, as some silicone products do. It washes easily and can be folded or rolled to store. My only tip if you are going to be using it for baby food is to set a timer for 2-3 hrs once putting it in the freezer to remove the food as soon as its frozen. I have found if you leave it in the freezer too long uncovered it can easily get frost bitten on the top of the food (I had to throw out a whole avacodo worth of cubes because of this problem). Now, I just stick them in labeled and dated freezer bags and they do not get frost bitten at all. It also allows you to make several types of food in one day for the whole week, even up to a month.

I bought this as a first-time baby food maker. I wasn't sure what would work best. I absolutely love this pan for freezing pureed baby food. I bought some of those food ice cube trays at the same time. They are okay, but I would truly rate this product as perfect for the purpose. I use a spatula and glop on a bunch of food at once and just wipe it across. The cavities fill nicely and there is very little waste or mess around each square. Popping them out once they are frozen is a dream. The cube trays are messier, more time consuming and the exit strategy isn't always what one would hope for. I also use the silicone ice cube trays from Ikea (hearts, fish, flowers, etc). These are cute, and will probably be nice when she's older, but for now, I love my Wilton pan. The serving size is great and being able to do 24 cubes at once is a real advantage over my other two options. I fully intend to buy at least one more of these and probably more.

I took others advice and hand washed to begin. Then I used a silicone basting brush to wipe melted butter in all the corners and sides. I very lightly floured each batch, but I’m not sure I really needed to. I did not wash in between batches and they got better and better at falling out! It was great! I did still butter each batch. I let cool in the pan for 10-15 mins then turned over and they fell right out. Use a sheet pan to cook the silicone pan on. Some said to only fill half way, but I found the brownies to be too short if I did that. I filled 3/4 way and they turned out much better. Nice and tall- 3/4-1” tall. I’ve used silicone in the past and not loved it. These have changed my mind. Good quality and easy to use.

I got a few of these when I planned a brownie and Ice cream party. I figured it would be nice to not have to cut out the brownies and worry that they weren't equal in size, 'cause then of course whoever gets to choose first will pick the biggest ones and the smaller ones are left for the late comers. The idea seemed pretty ingenious and I've always wanted to try silicone bake-ware. I envisioned perfectly lovely brownie Sundaes. So . . . The reasons I only gave it 3 stars . . . . First of all, I wish that the pans came with directions. It does have directions that they should be washed before the first use (which to me is a no-brainer) and mentions what kinds of temperatures they can handle etc . . . But there is nothing anywhere about how they should be used when actually baking. The reason this was a problem is because I guess I filled the sections up a bit too much (about half full) and my first batch completely overflowed and so I ended up with one giant brownie that somewhat resembled a lego. So I had to cut those brownies apart anyway, and they didn't look very pretty thus defeating the purpose of buying the pans in the first place. I added more flour to my brownie batter after that and tried not to put as much batter in the sections (about a third full) and they were better, but still rose above the edges a bit so they still weren't as pretty as I had fist envisioned, so it needs to be noted that you barely need to put any batter into the sections. And it might depend on the consistency of your batter recipe. Needless to say these will take some experimentation before working for anybody really. My only other complaint is that the pans are somewhat difficult to get clean after use. This may be due to the fact that I have horribly hard water in my house, and so the dishwasher seemed like it would be a bad idea so I washed these by hand, but it seemed no matter how thorough I tried to be I kept finding places I had missed while drying them and so I would have to wash them again. I think I washed them about three times in a row each and still wasn't completely satisfied with the outcome, but gave up and decided I'd wash them again before the next use. Hopefully this will help anyone who is thinking about buying these. I haven't tried them for jello or ice cream molding yet, but I imagine that they will work just fine for that.
