Christmas Brownie Bites

See how festive they look?

You know you want to make these. They are just to cute! I decided on Jill's, from Simple Daily Recipe's, suggestion to make these for my girl's class parties for Friday. Seeing as today is going to be all taken up with Dr's appt. and school things the only time I had to make these was Wednesday.

I looked for a recipe for brownies that was going to be simple and cheap to make. Come on now, this is for a bunch of little kids that really don't know too much better...luckily they tasted pretty good anyway!

The first 3 pans weren't so good. Some were too big, broke on removal from pan and the M&M's sunk right in! Along with the fact that I only found one of my mini muffin pans so I was making them 12 at a time, they truly took me all day long! Once I got the timing, the M&M and the cooling figured out I was in business.

I truly loved these for the kids class and am excited to bring them to the parties they are having on Friday! Wouldn't you be?

The girls were pretty happy with these as well. They got to eat all of the ones that didn't turn out!!!

On another note take a minute and go and visit my friend Jo's blog and read about all of the wonderful things she wrote about me!!!
