Petite Brownie Bites

I love to cook.  I love to bake even more.  I also love to have my baked goodies looking pretty.  Hee hee.  And I am one of those who firmly believe that there is always room for dessert…other than fruits.  I know it’s wrong but I don’t really count fruits as dessert.  Haha.   Then again, not all of us have the luxury of time to whip something up in the kitchen.

Here’s something quick that you can prepare for dessert, a snack, or a picnic  but will nevertheless wow your targeted eaters…Petite Brownie Bites!

You need only three things:  store-bought mini brownie cups, frozen whipped topping that has been thawed and sliced fresh strawberries.  A fourth thing you will need, lest I forget, is a teeny weeny bit of creativity.

For this project, I got the brownie cups from Costco.  The whipped topping I used is a store-brand, Hill Country Fair, which I now prefer over Kraft because in my opinion, it is stiffer.

All you have to do is top the brownie cups with a dallop of whipped cream and a slice of strawberry and tadah, you have yourself some treats that not only tickle the tummy but also the eyes.

I made these for dessert during a beach holiday with our friends.  The little girls were the first to make a bee line for ‘em, while most of the adults had their eyes set on the leche flan which I made in advance.   A few others liked the fresh cantaloupe slices, which, like I said, don’t really count.  Haha!
