You know when you want a brownie, but you don’t want a whole brownie, well that’s where these little bites come in. They satisfy your brownie tooth without going overboard, that is, if you can refrain from eating them all. Really you could without feeling too guilty, since you use dates instead of sugar and they’re totally grain free. I was pretty excited about my latest thrift store score, which was a mini muffin tin, who knew making all things mini could be so fun.
Yes, you guessed it that lovely rose plate was another thrift store score, straight outta grandma’s cabinet. The frosting on these bites could fool Tony the Tiger, its creamy luxurious and spiked with ample vanilla and soft honey notes.
