Jazzed up Brownie bites....see recipe below
1 container “two-bite brownies bites” (available at most grocery bakeries or places like Costco and Sam's Club)
2 containers Whipped Fluffy White frosting (do not substitute regular white frosting as it is not the same consistency as the “whipped fluffy” variety)
Made from scratch chocolate frosting:
3 cups powdered sugar
6 tablespoons melted butter
1/3 cup or more of cocoa (depending on how chocolate-y you like it)
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
about 4 tablespoons half and half, to make it spreadable
Mix all frosting ingredients together with a mixer. The "creamy-ness" of this frosting comes from the half and half, so water or milk won't make it as creamy. If you can manage it, don't substitute!
Cut brownie bites in half lengthwise.
On cut surface of bottom half, place a good teaspoon or more of the whipped fluffy white frosting (I prefer lots, but use as much or as little as you prefer).
On the top portion of the brownie bite, generously frost with homemade chocolate frosting; lay frosted top on white frosted bottom half.
That’s it – you’re done!
Note: if you’re into nuts or coconut or toffee bits or whatever topping you can think of, sprinkle some of your desired topping over the freshly frosted tops of the brownies bites – as the frosting dries, the topping will adhere to it.
