Brownie Bites
12:17 AM
For a get-together we had at our house--I wanted to make something a little different, bite-sized, and full of as much flavor as a full-sized brownie.
So, I decided to make brownie balls- or bites...whatever you want to call them.
I made brownies, the old-fashioned way in a 9x13 pan. After the brownies were baked, I let them cool for just a bit--and then started to scoop out the middle of the pan with a small cookie scoop. I used the 1tbs sized one. I stayed away from the edges, because of their crunchiness--but they did not go uneaten :)
After scooping, I rolled the brownie into a ball- and then dipped it into almond bark. Then I sprinkled the almond bark with toffee chips. As the almond bark was running low, I decided to just drizzle the rest, which I think wound up looking the prettiest.
These turned out looking like truffles--but, were almost better! Of course, comparing truffles and brownies is almost impossible--since both are so yummy, but in different ways.
These disappeared FAST--and when I say fast-- I mean VERY, very, VERY fast! I will definitely make these simple, decadent, little balls of goodness again.
My next thought, is actually doing something very similar with cake. Hmmm...
