...especially when it's bite-sized. This week's TWD was Brownie Buttons, an adorably small bite-sized diet killer. They are dense and rich, overflowing with a buttery chocolate flavor that makes it impossible to eat just one.
I had a blast making these and thought for a full week about what I could do for new flavor twists. Now, don't get me wrong, I love chocolate. I have just come to see it as more of a blank palate for experimentation. The original recipe called for orange zest, which is a fantastic combination. But why stop there? I divided up my first batch and put a Junior Mint in half of them for that classic chocolate mint flavor.
But that wasn't enough. The full recipe only makes about 16 of these teeny tiny beauties and I needed more! So my next batch was a little more dangerous - Chipotle Chocolate Buttons. They look innocent if you don't know what's in there. The first bite is rich and decadent, and all of a sudden, the heat creeps up the back of your throat and into your mouth. It's a deliciously sweet burn.
This recipe is a keeper. It's so easy to put together and a great way to experiment with your favorite chocolate flavor combos. Check out the other TWD bakers and see what they cooked up (recipe here)!
