Friday's Treat

Chocolate Dipped Fudge Brownies

These little treats are just darling. They are going to be my new favorite thing to make for party's, get-together's and whatever else may come along:) So simple to make and soooo adorable! I got the idea for them from Sweetapolita ( have I told you about this website? check it out...she does amazing things with cakes/cupcakes/desserts. I love it ). I made mine bite sized and did some mini chocolate chips, sprinkles and then a few in white chocolate. I used the fudge brownie recipe that I always use, you have to try it, it really is the best! ( recipe follows )

I cut the brownies into bite sized squares and then pulled them apart and put them in the fridge for about 30 minutes so they would be firm when dipping them in the chocolate.....they will be falling apart during the dipping process if they aren't firm!

I took a cake tester and stuck a brownie on the end

then rolled it in the chocolate

this picture is kinda blurry but I wanted to show you that I left some of the side without chocolate so it would be easier to push off the stick. Most of it got covered anyways while they were sitting on the wax paper from the chocolate falling over the sides

added some sprinkles

 some mini chocolate chips

then got these little cuties:) Seriously, aren't they adorable?!! The white chocolate ones I left the whole side uncovered and didn't add any toppings because I like the contrast mixed in with the others:)...haha, hows that for a description!!

Enjoy!!

Fudge Brownies

1 1/4c butter, soft

4c sugar

Beat this in the mixer until fluffy then add

8 eggs

2 tsp vanilla

Beat again until light and fluffy, add

2 c flour

1 1/4c cocoa

1 tsp salt

2 c nuts ( I don't like nuts so I never add these )

Mix until well combined. Bake at 350 for 40 min.

note: I like my brownies chewy rather than cakey so I only baked them for 27 min. Odd number I know but they come out perfectly chewy:)
