Two Bite Fudge Brownies...

Who doesn't love brownies???  Really rich fudgey chocolate brownies.  They just make your day :)  Chocolate is good for you too right??  I mean, that's what I keep telling myself anyway...  My husband recently joined a Men's Fraternity group through our church.  It is a really great chance for men to get together and fellowship and have some fun watching football.  Jared has really enjoyed this.  They have a book study and then watch the game together.  They take turns hosting it at their homes and the host cooks the goodies for them to munch on.  We don't have T.V. so our chance to host was out since we couldn't have the game.  We decided that my parents would host and we would help supply the goodies.  Our way of contributing.  So this week was my parents week to host and my mom was cooking all the snacks and I was relegated to make the desserts...big suprise.  Ha!!  I asked Jared what he wanted and his answer was brownies, right away.  He loves 'em.  I am down with a cold and wanted something super easy to make.  So I decided to make two bite brownies so they'd be easier to serve,and I made them with frosting because the only way to make a brownie better is to add frosting to it, right?  I did put some football theme sprinkles on them.  I also made a pumpkin sheet cake with cream cheese frosting because I'm in a fall mood and I bought a whole flat of canned pumpkin last week. I'll post that one later... So here are the brownies.  Enjoy!!

Two Bite Brownies

1 cup butter, melted

3/4 cup cocoa

4 eggs

2 cups sugar

1 tsp. salt

1 1/2 cups flour

1 tsp. baking powder

1 tsp. vanilla extract

Stir cocoa into melted butter in a small bowl and set aside.  Blend together sugar and eggs.  Add flour, baking powder, and salt.  Blend well.  Add vanilla and melted butter/chocolate mixture.  Scoop into greased mini muffin tins (I used my cookie scoop).  Bake at 350 degrees for about 12-15 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into one brownie comes out clean.  Let cool in pan for 5 minutes and then remove to a cooling rack.

Let cool completely and then top with frosting.

Buttercream frosting

1/2 cup butter

1 tsp. milk
