Chocolate Chocolate and More Chocolate Brownie Bites

If you love chocolate and I mean LOVE chocolate you will not be able to put these down! Okay I took a page from that chick on Simply Homemade and used Betty Crocker to help me on this yummy sinful gooey little treat! I do that allot especially if I am cooking dinner, and making apps I take a shortcut on the dessert sometimes; but believe me, these will not taste store bought!!!! These are perfect for Super-bowl, book club, romantic dinner, or even girls night in!!!! 


What you need:


  • 1 Pckg. of Betty Crocker Brownie Mix with Fudge (see picture below) Prepared according to package in a separate bowl. 
  • 1 Pckg. of Betty Crocker Double Chocolate Chunk Cookie Mix (you can use other cookie mixes as well if you'd like) Prepared according to package in a separate bowl. 
  • A pad of butter for greasing 
  • 12-oz bag of semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • 3/4 heavy cream
  • 6 tbl. of butter
  • And a whole lot of will-power! 
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Grease 13 X 9 baking dish I used a glass one in this case. Prepare brownie mixture and pour batter into prepared baking dish, spread evenly. 





Take prepared cookie dough mixture and take tablespoon size balls and drop in brownie mix, as so. 



Bake for 35-40 min. Let cool completely 1 hour. Let me just say the house will smell so delicious and you will want to eat them now but don't we are not finished yet! 





Once cooled you can do one of the following: 
  • Drizzle with Chocolate
  • Drizzle with Melted Frosting (Cream Cheese, Chocolate, Peanut Butter) 
  • Frost it with any of the above icings OR
  • Pour another layer of chocolate on top...Ganache Chocolate 
I decided to go with Ganache in this case, it's easy I use it on allot on top of my cakes, bars, and besides the intention of this recipe is to appease those chocolate lovers out there and the one sitting in front of this computer! 


To make the Ganache:


Heat butter and heavy cream over low heat till just hot, you don't want this to boil at all have patience it will pay off. Place 12-ox semi-sweet chocolate morsels in a bowl. 



Once the butter/cream mixture is ready pour over chocolate morsels let sit for 15-20min then stir till smooth. 



Once smooth pour of brownie mixture and don't touch till Ganache is set, 30-min. You can place in the fridge if you like to speed up the setting process.   

Set Ganache




Once set cut into cute mini squares or bars however you'd like and serve!!!! MMMM this is sinful! Yummy! 




So yummy and rich!!!
