Daily Dose: Brownie Bites

Oops!  I forgot to take pictures of the process for this recipe.  I only remembered to grab my camera once they were out of the oven (but don't they look yummmmmmy!).  Even with the lack of pictures to guide you along, this recipe is a must try.  I like my brownies a little chewy, and these have the perfect consistency to them.  And by using the mini-muffin tin, it's like each piece is a corner piece!  Just remember to to use good quality chocolate, and you'll have a delicious batch of brownies in no time.  Enjoy!
