RANDOMNESS - Mikie had a little work done on one of his knees this week, and Judith came by to "make him feel better" for a little while yesterday.
I think it might have worked.
Shamrock Minty Brownie Bites
You will need the following:
Box fudge brownie mix
8 ounce cream cheese (softened)
1/4 cup butter (softened)
1/2 teaspoon mint extract
4 drops green food coloring
3/4 cup powdered sugar
2/3 cup heavy cream
1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
Sprinkles
1. Preheat oven as box directs; spray mini cupcake pans with vegetable spray.
2. Prepare brownie mix according to directions and place mixture in pans (about 1/2 way up).
3. Bake for 10 minutes then remove from oven. Let sit 5 minutes, then remove from pan (use a small metal spatula to run around the edges before removing).
4. In a medium bowl, combine the cream cheese, butter, extract and food coloring. Mix until creamy, then gradually add in the powdered sugar.
5. Place frosting in a pastry bag with a swirl tip.
6. In a small saucepan over medium heat, bring heavy cream to a boil. Immediately remove and add in chocolate chips. Stir until melted.
7. Dip tops of brownie bites into ganache and set on a wire rack. Let set up for 5 minutes.
8. Pipe frosting on top.
9. Decorate with sprinkles.
10. Store in refrigerator.
NOTE: You may think the bites are a bit dry when they come out of the oven, but as they sit in the refrigerator, they soften up and will be just right!
Have a Happy St. Patrick's Day tomorrow. I'll be back soon, and we'll be talking Easter AND Spring!
Sincerely,
The Enchanting Belinda
P.S. This guy is stopping by to "make Pop feel better" tomorrow!
