Bite Size Goodness

One day my hair stylist, Lencola*, called me about an event she was doing. She was hosting a photo shoot to show case her talent as a wonderful beautician. She wanted to know what would be a good food to serve to the hair models during the photo shoot. I asked a couple of questions about the event and how long it was going to last. Since the hair models will be having their makeup done, while their was getting done and also the photo shoot was going to last anywhere between 5hrs to 8hrs, I suggested small bite size foods and desserts.

Small bite size was good for this event, because it will be able to be eaten quickly and if the hair models already were in full makeup, it would not mess up their makeup. The food suggestion that Lencola went with was my brownie bits. These things are bite size goodness. The can be picked up and popped in your mouth in minutes. To add an extra flare I added designs to each on with colored butter cream icing. Enjoy!

Brownie Bites

2/3 cup Unsweetned butter

5 oz Baking chocolate, cut into pieces

1 3/4 cup Sugar

2 Tbsp. Vanilla extract

3 Eggs

1 cup All-purpose flour

Sift flour and set aside. Beat sugar, vanilla, and eggs in electric mixer on low. While this is mixing start preparing a small saucepan. Melt butter and chocolate in saucepan over medium heat. Stir mixture frequently till pieces of chocolate are fully melted. Once melted add chocolate mixture to the electric mixer. Once fully incorporated stop mixer and scrape down the sides. Restart mixer and add in flour. Spoon batter into greased special baking pans with small squares incorporated in them. Bake on 350*F for about 18-20 minutes. It is desirable to have brownies with a muffin like top. Cool on wire completly before decorating. This recepie yeilds about 2 dozen small brownie bites, depending on how you divide out the batter.
