bitty brownies

maybe i have mentioned it before, but around here we do enjoy a brownie or two. so in the middle of need for a sunday night sugar-fix, we came up with these. let's call them "bitty brownies," so we don't confuse them with the yummies you can buy here, although they are every bit as good. (and did i mention a little healthier too?)
