brownie buttons {bwd}

Most people, when served a brownie, probably already have an ideal brownie in their mind. Chewy, fudgey, dense, crisp-edged, thick, rich, or über-chocolatey — the list goes on and on. Texture usually is a defining factor.

These lilliputian bites make a great snack, if you're looking for something cakey. Really, these aren't fudgey, nor are they chewy. These brownie bites are essentially miniature chocolate cakes, which is fine, if you're expecting cake. The Daughter wasn't and was therefore disappointed. ☹ (She likes chewy.)

I, on the other hand, have yet to see something homemade with chocolate and butter that I dislike. I enjoyed eating the snack and couldn't stop at one— I just wouldn't call these brownies.

You can get the recipe here and also see the other Baking with Dorie bakers here.

    yes, you're right about it being a mini choc cake instead of a brownie. I'm sorry your daughter got dissapointed - make her a batch of real brownies!! :)

  3. I love your cupcake liners! So cute!
    You're right - they have the texture of a fudgy 'cake' without being really dense. So you can't call them fudgy in texture - just in taste. Ok, I don't even know what I'm trying to say, lol.
    Thanks for baking with us this week!
