Brownie Bites

A few weeks ago, I tried making brownie bites for the first time, and I'd say it was a successful attempt. I used a mini muffin tin and got four dozen bites out of a Betty Crocker Fudge Brownie mix. I just sprayed the pan with Baker's Joy, and they popped right out. I baked them for about 18 minutes. I iced half with a peanut butter icing and half with the cream cheese frosting left over from the zucchini cake. The cream cheese icing looked great, but I over-whipped the peanut butter icing so it didn't look so nice and smooth.

I made these brownies for the lifeguards and swim instructors at the pool where my kids had their swimming lessons. They're just college students (and some high school kids) who slave away all summer keeping the community pools clean and looking great while teaching a whole mess of little ones how to swim. I wasn't sure if those kids with the buff bodies would eat them, but Elizabeth peeked into the office on the way out and shouted, "Mommy! Some of the brownies are missing!" So I guess they ate 'em.
