BROWNIE BITES1 box of brownie mix
oil, egg and water called for on box
1 (8oz) pkg Cream Cheese
1/2 tsp Vanilla
1/2 to 1 C Powdered Sugar
*Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Spray a mini muffin pan with nonstick cooking spray. Make the brownie mix as directed on the box. Scoop brownie batter into prepared pan. Only fill each spot about half way. If your brownies over flow, they will be much harder to get out and will most likely break. Bake them about 12-15 minutes. They bake pretty fast since they're so small.
Just out of the oven 
While they are still warm, take the back of a teaspoon measuring spoon and press an indentation into the brownies. Let them cool a few minutes before removing from pan. I usually use toothpicks to get them out of the pan. If they're fresh out of the oven, they may still be a little gooey, so let them sit a few minutes. Move to cooling rack and let them cool completely.
While they are cooling make the frosting. Whip together cream cheese, vanilla and powdered sugar. I don't know exactly how much powdered sugar I use I just mix it until it's a good thick consistency.
After you have whipped the frosting put it in a piping bag. If you don't have a piping bag you can you a plastic baggie and cut one of the corners. Just be sure the other end is tight so the frosting doesn't just come out when you squeeze the bag. Keep refrigerated. They are really good chilled.
These are great for special occasions because they are bite sized. I make these for baby showers all the time. Just tint the frosting pink or blue, depending on the gender of the baby of course. They are also easy to make ahead of time and can stay refrigerated for a few days.
