Yesterday morning I decided to make Brownie Bites. I had purchased this pan (along with the brownie pan) during a friend’s virtual Pampered Chef party and hadn’t even used it yet so yesterday was THE day.
Of course I had all the ingredients because, well, I’m a baker so tend to keep these things on hand. I whipped up the recipe below and proceeded to load up the squares in the pan. Big mistake! Don’t load them to the brim. Fill half full. (Tip: I used a cookie scoop.) If not, you’ll have some difficulty getting them out of the pan. Be sure to spray the pan well with PAM. When done, let cool in pan for 5-8 minutes, then take a spatula and run around the edges to help lift the brownie bite out.
And you’ll have wonderful little brownie bites which you can pop into your mouth when that sweet tooth needs to be satisfied. They’d be great a la mode as well. Imagine a warm brownie bite, some cold vanilla bean ice cream, a dollop of whipped cream and a cherry!
