Brownie bites

Chocolate explosion in mini form. The best
This delicacy is exceptionally easy. Take any box brownie (Duncan Hines is best), and fill mini muffin cups with the batter. Follow baking instructions for MINI muffins, (not regular) and doll up the results with the following toppings.
Brownie bite topper #1. Drizzle melted chocolate chips (dark or white chocolate) over brownies, in zigzag form. Looks very classy.
Brownie bite topper #2 Single topper such as whole marachino cherry with stem, or half a pecan. Walnut slices work well too.
Brownie bite topper #3 Cream swirl. Too easy. Just spritz a small whisp of aerated cream, such as reddi whip ontop of each bite. Sprinkle with cocoa powder (lightly)

Extra tips: K.I.S.S. as in quick toppers. Think Peanut blossoms (small beanut butter kisses), chocolate blossoms (hershey's kisses) aloft a warm bite. Yum.

Peppermint Patty

Good grief, these are great

Candy bites

who can take tomorrow, dip it in a dream
cover it with chocolate and collect up all the cream
the candy man can {every body sing now}

Muffin Bites

Oh do you know the muffin man?...these babies weren't made from a can!

Cranberry Bites

Crisp and tart, red like wine, for elegant snacking, these do just fine

Bakery Bites

Buttery crisp, and down-home good. Tastes moist and fluffy like a bakery bite should

Cheescake Bites

Try these delicious goodies for a sweet treat in minutes.

Pick up any instant cheescake mix at the store (Jello brand work great).
Prepare crumb crust and press into mini-muffin tins. Set. (chill about twenty minutes). This helps the base hold together. Just pour the batter in, chill till set, and top with the following:
Strawberry jam dollop
Raspberry stripes (pipe them on with slightly warmed jam).
Reddi-whip dollop with a mini-lemon twist in center.
Hershey's syrup stripe (apply with care due to limited work area).
These also fly well when presented in full-size form although, in my opinion, they become less of an hordourve and more of a desert without the tiny proportions.
