Celebrate The Holidays with Paul’s Favourite Festive Brownie Miniatures

I love being able to help my mom with the Holiday Baking. It is a family tradition that we enjoy every Christmas season as we get ready for the holidays together.

We bake all sorts of yummy things like:

• Gingerbread Cookies
• Shortbread Cookies
• Holiday Sugar Cookies
• Peanut Butter Bars
• Peanut Butter Cookies
• Chocolate Brownie Hugs
• Butter Tarts
• and Nanaimo Bars

This year, I’d like to share one of my favourite festive baking recipes with you for you to enjoy with your friends and family – festive brownie miniatures!

 

Brownie Miniatures

Semisweet Chocolate
• 1/2 tsp Vanilla
• 1 Egg (lightly beaten)
• 1/3 Cup All-purpose Flour

We used candy cane chocolate kisses instead of rosebuds to top our brownies this year. Feel free to get creative and use your own special topping!
