Bird Nest Brownies

I made these cute little Bird Nest Brownies for Easter.  

I first made brownies per the package instructions in (greased) mini muffin tins.  Mine took about 15 minutes.   The toothpick came out almost clean... (you don't want it clean or the brownie won't be soft)

I let the brownies cool an popped them out of the muffin tin.  I, then, decorated them by using a chocolate frosting tub spooned into a ziploc bag with a decorating tip making little nest and popping little chocolate filled eggs in each nest...

Gooey Chocolate Cake

This doesn't cut well and obviously doesn't photograph well because of it but it is delicious!!!  I adapted Gooey Butter Cake to make it a chocolate lover's dream!  It turned out great!  I'm really trying to take better pictures but if it's not the operator (a.k.a. me) it's something like this.  Argh! Oh well...

Gooey Butter Cake

It is definitely what it is called.  It's yummy, pretty sweet and will satisfy that sweet tooth.  (I made an oops and added double the sugar, now that was sweet!)  I plan to make a chocolate version soon!

Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Dip

 This is pretty darn good.  I wouldn't say that it tastes just like cookie dough but it resembles it enough that the name is good enough.  I made this for our little family New Year's Eve party of three.
