Double Chocolate Brownie Bites

I spend a couple days a week experimenting and tweaking recipes, then a couple more days filming and editing videos. For the remainder of the week I work on my other channel. Filming and editing the videos for that channel are a lot easier I must say.

Last night as I was done filming this video, I made myself a huge cup of tea, plated myself a bowl of these mini brownies and topped them with some whipped cream, before sitting down to edit my videos. Once I began eating, I let out this huge sigh of relief. A whole day’s work was definitely worth it. Sometimes I have this huge burst of energy and I can make like 3 or 4 recipe videos a day. On other days I barely want to look at my laptop. A dessert really does help on those bad days.

These double chocolate brownie bites will definitely be the right ‘pick me up’ on those bad days.
