Utter perfection. These simple, delicious and crowd pleasing brownie bites will be a mega hit for both adults and kids alike. Super easy to make just follow the directions exactly from Baked Perfection. I made these for an afternoon bbq and the finished product looked exactly like the mouth-watering picture.
Peanut Butter Cup Brownies Bites
Makes 40 mini-brownies
1 box of your favorite brownie mix
1/2 cup peanut butter chips
1/2 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
3/4 cup creamy peanut butter
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Spray or grease 40 mini-muffin cups.
Prepare boxed brownie mix as directed. Spoon batter evenly into muffin cups (about 1 heaping teaspoon). Bake for 13-15 minutes or until top is set and a toothpick inserted into center comes out slightly wet. After brownies are out of the oven, wait for centers to fall. This will happen upon cooling. If not then tap the centers with the back of a teaspoon to make a hole for the peanut butter.
Place peanut butter in a small microwave-safe bowl. Microwave on high for 45 seconds then stir. While brownies are still warm spoon about half a teaspoon of peanut butter into the center of each brownie. Top with semi-sweet chocolate chips and peanut butter chips. Cool completely in pan.

An apple a a day really can keep the doctor away. Because it is such a commonly consumed fruit it is easy to overlook all of the unique health benefits apples provide. Apples are low in calories and are a good source of fiber and vitamin C. They are also a rich source of other antioxidant compounds. The pectin in apples lowers LDL cholesterol. By just eating 2 apples a day, you can reduce your cholesterol level by up to 10%. Apples also contains a flavanoid called phloridzin which helps increase bone density making it a great fruit choice for women.
When selecting an apple go for the firm and bright colored ones with smooth and shiny skin. Apples are typically grown with the use of poisons to kill a variety of pests, from fungi to insects. It’s best to by organic when it comes to apples because scrubbing and peeling doesn’t eliminate chemical residue completely and often strips away many of the more beneficial nutrients. The peak season for apples starts in late summer so I thought it would be a perfect time to feature a few of my favorite quick and easy apple recipes. Enjoy!
Apple Martini. Okay, this lacks all nutritional value but when something tastes this good who cares?

It can clean your toilet, eliminate rust from a car bumper and remove grease from clothing. It is linked to diabetes, tooth decay, hyperactivity and childhood obesity. It also contains the devil of all ingredients – high fructose corn syrup. We know all of this yet some of us still continue to consume soda. I never have soda in my house but I am guilty of ordering it occasionally for the kiddos when we are out to eat. I needed a reminder of how bad soda really is and this chart did it for me. No more sodas. Period.
