Brownie Petit Fours

Here’s another delicious dessert I made for New Years Eve – Brownie Petit Fours. (You can read about my New Years Eve party and get a recipe for Honey Citrus Champange Cupcakes here) The original BHG recipe included bourbon, but I already had Bourbon Truffles on the menu so I decided to go without it in this recipe.

I was a little wary of making these little guys, petit fours seem pretty difficult to make. But I was surprised with how simple it was to make these!

Ingredients:

  • BROWNIES
  • 1/2 cup butter
  • 3 ounces unsweetened chocolate, coarsely chopped
  • 1/4 cup milk
  • 2 tablespoons  coffee grounds (I measured them out from a k cup)
  • 1 cup sugar
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla
  • 3/4 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 teaspoon baking soda
  • MILK CHOCOLATE FROSTING & SEMISWEET CHOCOLATE GLAZE
  • 1 cup whipping cream
  • 11.25 ounce milk chocolate pieces
  • 16 ounce package semisweet chocolate pieces
