I love Texas Sheet Cake, in fact I have made over dozen different sheet cake cookies and even a few Bundt cakes. The problem is that sometimes you can crave Texas Sheet Cake but don’t want to turn on the oven. This may have happened to me a few weeks ago and when I get hungry, I get creative. It was that moment of chocolate craving that led me to making Easy No Bake Texas Sheet Cake Bites. Using store bought chocolate brownie bites as the base for these decadent cake bites ended up being genius. I can’t wait for you to make a batch for yourself!

Ingredients Needed

Brownie Bites-Found in the bakery section of your local grocery store, brownie bites provide a fabulous base for these Sheet Cake Bites.
Butter-Added to chocolate frosting to help create a smooth texture and decadent flavor.
Milk-The perfect ingredient to help thin the frosting while still giving it a bit of flavor.
Cocoa Powder-For the perfect chocolate flavor and color.
Powdered Sugar-Added to the glaze for sweetness and a smooth texture.
Pecan Halves-A traditional flavor that also looks amazing on these No Bake Bites.
Kosher Salt-Sea salt can also be used to help cut the sweetness of this no bake dessert.

How to make No Bake Texas Sheet Cake Bites

Lay the bakery brownie bites onto a sheet pan in a single layer.
Combine the butter, cocoa powder and milk in a small saucepan over medium heat and whisk until the mixture has melted. Remove from heat, add powdered sugar.
Whisk the glaze until it is smooth and free from any lumps.
Gather your pecan halves or whatever you would like to top the No Bake Texas Sheet Cake Bites with.
Spoon chocolate glaze over brownie bites. Use a knife or spoon to move excess frosting and be sure that the top of each brownie bite is completely covered.
Quickly press a pecan half into the top of each brownie bite before the chocolate glaze sets up.

Sheet Cake Bites Topping Ideas

While pecan halves may be traditional that doesn’t mean that everyone at your house is going to love them. So why not get creative by adding a different topping to these Texas Sheet Cake Bites? Here are some delicious ideas!

Fresh Fruit-raspberries, blueberries, blackberries or half of a strawberry would all be a wonderful topping.
Different Kinds of Nut-walnuts, pistachios, almonds or hazelnuts would all be a great topping substitute.
Candy-get a bag of the mini versions of your favorite candies and use those. Peanut butter cups, Twix, Snickers, Peppermint Patties and Butterfingers would all taste amazing.
Baking Chips-add a pile of your favorite baking chips for some added crunch and flavor. Peanut butter chips, butterscotch, dark chocolate or mini chips would all work great.

What is Texas Sheet Cake?

A traditional Texas Sheet Cake is a moist thin chocolate cake baked in a jelly roll pan and covered in an amazing chocolate glaze. Most of the time it is made with buttermilk and has a pinch of cinnamon. A lot of times you can find pecans in the frosting as well.

This recipe is not exactly traditional but it is a take on classic Texas Sheet Cake.

Why should I add a pinch of salt to the top of each Sheet Cake Bite?

Adding a bit of kosher or sea salt to the top of each No Bake Texas Sheet Cake Bites accentuates the rich chocolate flavor. The hint of saltiness also helps keep the brownie bites from being too sweet.

The salt also works great when you are adding a pecan {or another type of nut} to the top of the Sheet Cake Bites. Just trust me and add a bit for a great flavor combination.

Can I make homemade brownie bites for the base of this recipe?

You can make a homemade brownie bite for the base of these Texas Sheet Cake Cookie Bites but then they won’t be no bake. If you really just want the mini Texas Sheet Cakes and aren’t into saving on time then go for it.

How to store leftover Texas Sheet Cake Bites

Leftover No Bake Texas Sheet Cake Bites are best kept in an airtight container either at room temperature or in the refrigerator.

Keeping them in the refrigerator will help them last a day or two longer. They also taste pretty great when they are chilled.

For best results, keep the Sheet Cake Bites in a single layer {after the frosting has set up} or place a piece of parchment {or wax} paper between layers to keep them from sticking to one another.
