BROWNIE POINTS' CHEWY BROWNIE BITES
One of my favorite food blogs is Brownie Points (http://www.browniepointsblog.com/). The latest entry is for Chewy Brownie Bites. The recipe has simply enchanted me, and the option of adding something different to every single brownie is mind-boggling. The ingredients come directly from the blog, but the directions are mine.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 350º F.
- Melt the butter with the chocolate and the salt. You can do this on the stovetop or in the microwave (or be really creative and leave it out in the sun or use a thermonuclear bomb).
- When it has all melted leave it to cool to room temperature.
- In a mixer, combine the sugar with the eggs until fluffy and creamy.
- Beat in the vanilla and add the cooled chocolate mixture.
- Fold in the flour.
- Spray the wells of a mini-muffin pan with non-stick spray or use mini liners.
- Fill each well 3/4 of the way full.
- Push on any desired add-ons, like nuts, candied fruit or sprinkles.
- If you are actually following directions and using a mini-muffin pan, then bake for 25 minutes. Otherwise, if you've decided to bung this into a square cake pan and bake like regular brownies, then bake for 30-35 minutes.
- Keep in mind that if you make this as you would regular brownies and not as the mini-muffins, they will not be as darling as they are meant to be.

CHERRY AND SPICE BROWNIE BITES
This is, without a doubt, one of the best brownie recipes I have ever tried. The recipe is from the AARP Nov/Dec magazine. Wanted to post here so it wouldn't be lost. A little does go a long way, because these are so rich! If needed for a cookie exchange, you could cut these into 1" squares. If for yourself, cut more generously. If you need to serve a crowd, increase the recipe by 2 1/2 times and bake in a 9"x13" pan. They will need a little more time in the oven this way. Make sure to test for doneness with a knife.

Steps:
- Center a rack in the oven and preheat to 325F degrees. Line an 8" square baking pan with aluminum foil and butter the foil or use nonstick foil.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, salt and spices.
- Put a heatproof bowl over a saucepan of gently simmering water. Put the butter in the bottom of the bowl, then add the chopped chocolates. Heat, stirring occasionally, just until the ingredients are melted - don't get them so hot that the butter separates. Remove the bowl from the pan.
- Using a whisk, stir the sugars into the butter-chocolate mixture. Add the eggs, one at a time. Add the vanilla and the grated orange zest and whisk the mixture energetically. Gently mix in the dry ingredients, stirring only until they are incorporated. Switch to a rubber spatula and fold in the nuts and cherries. Turn the batter into the prepared pan and even the top with the spatula.
- Bake the brownies for about 25 minutes, or until the top no longer looks wet and a thin knife inserted into the center comes out clean. Place the pan on a rack and cool to room temperature.
- When the brownies are cool, turn them over onto the rack, peel away the foil, and invert them onto a cutting board. Using a ruler and a long, thin knife, cut the brownies into 1"x1" bites.
- Storage tips: Wellpwrapped and uncut, the brownies will keep at room temperature for 4 to 5 days; cut, they will keep for about 3 days. They can be frozen for up to 2 months.

Tips:
- Use a good quality cocoa powder for the best flavor.
- Do not overmix the batter, as this can result in tough brownies.
- Bake the brownies until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with just a few moist crumbs attached.
- If you don't have a cherry liqueur, you can use another type of fruit liqueur or even rum or bourbon.
- Be sure to use a good quality chocolate for the ganache, as this will make a big difference in the flavor.
- Allow the ganache to cool slightly before pouring it over the brownies, so that it doesn't melt them.
- If you want to make the brownies ahead of time, you can bake them and then freeze them for up to 2 months. When you're ready to serve them, thaw them overnight in the refrigerator and then bring them to room temperature before serving.
Conclusion:
These brandied cherry brownie bites are a delicious and elegant dessert that is perfect for any occasion. They are easy to make and can be tailored to your own personal preferences. Whether you like your brownies fudgy or cakey, with or without nuts, these brownies are sure to please everyone. So next time you're looking for a special dessert, give these brandied cherry brownie bites a try. You won't be disappointed!
