Personal Notes:
aka Little Mini Brownie Bites
From Karissa. I do not remember where I stumbled on these, but I thought they were going to be like chocolate “snowballs”. Instead they reminded me of tiny brownies. They were semi-sweet, chocolatey, and acquire their name from when they bake; they flatten out a bit and get fissures in the powdered sugar—aka crinkles. Making them was too fun as I had “black” hands when I was finished from all the rolling and powdered sugar all over the kitchen, no idea how. So, a bomb for getting chocolate “snowballs”, but tasty as mini-brownies. They seemed to be a hit.
