I needed a quick bite-sized dessert for a recent dinner party. I was making Italian food, so I wanted an Italian flavored dessert. I love brownies, so I thought what about Tiramisu Brownie Bites?
I used a box of Ghirardelli brownie mix and substituted coffee for the water in the mix. I whipped up a light mascarpone frosting to go on top. OMG – delicious! The frosting was so light and scrumptious. It was the perfect ending to the meal!

As much as I don't like to drink coffee, I can't argue with what it does to chocolate. And that frosting! Love!
