Brownie Bites

So Mother Goose posted a brownie recipe today that looked absolutely YUMMO! Check it out!

That got me thinking, Phillip doesn't like fancy brownies, but I do. I remembered having a yummy brownie bite at a party once. So while at the commissary today I bought a brownie mix, and two types of our family's favorite candies; York peppermint patties, and Reece's Peanut Butter Cups.

Here's what you will need;

• 1 pkg of your favorite brownie mix
• ingredients to make it according to the directions on the back
• your favorite chocolate candy

I mixed the brownie mix as directed on the back of the box. Then using my smallest scoop I scooped one scoopful of brownie mix into each of the mini muffin spots in my mini muffin pan. I had sprayed the mini muffin pan with cooking spray.

Keeping Phillip in mind, I put one York peppermint patty(the little ones) on 8 of the brownies, and one mini peanut butter cup in another 8 of the brownies, leaving 8 just plain.

I baked the brownies at 350 degrees for 15 minutes. They baked all the way through....but turned out to be a gooey mess that were hard to get out of the pan.
So once I got all these brownies out of the pan, no worries they are still edible and yummy just not pretty, I washed the pan. For the second batch using the rest of the mix I decided to use mini cupcake liners in the pan....and it worked like a charm! For the second batch the ones that got the York peppermint patties only got 1/2 a patty per brownie.

Second batch worked a little better, now the paper liners don't want to come off very easily. Hmmm....I will have to think on this one.....maybe the next time I will set aside a smidgen of the brownie mix to dust the muffin tin with after I spray it...or use cocoa powder to dust with.....let me know if you try one of those ideas and how it turns out.

Enjoy....I know we will.
