No-bake brownie bites

It's no secret that I love desserts. I mean, who doesn't?? They're fun, delicious, and the perfect way to end a meal (or start a meal, or take a break in-between your meal...). Anyway, as much as I love baking, sometimes I just don't want to go through all the waiting-- preheat the oven, grease up the pans, make sure everything's done all the way through, clean up all the mess you've made....

Well, this week we have to do some deep-cleaning for our final cleaning checks before fall semester starts. One of my lovely roommates cleaned the oven so beautifully I couldn't bring myself to do anything that may ruin it when the urge to bake struck.

Thankfully, I had this awesome recipe on standby for such an occasion! It's simple, easy to clean up, and downright decadent. It only has a few ingredients, which include: chocolate, more chocolate, and butter; so, it has to be good, right?!

I consider myself a chocolate aficionado. A fanatic, if you will. And let me tell you, after one or two of these, I was almost chocolated out for the day. It was awesome.

Soooo, let's just get this out of the way now; there is quite a bit of butter in the recipe...That's probably why it's so delicious. I melted a stick and a half of butter in the microwave and it smelled super good....

...But then I added the box of brownie mix and it smelled even better!! At this point I was tempted to just start eating it straight out of the bowl. But I pressed on.

The recipe says you can also roll the dough in chocolate pudding mix for an extra chocolate kick, and I thought I might as well....But then I didn't add as many chocolate chips as the recipe calls for, because I just had to draw the line somewhere.

And here's the finished product!! I have no idea how I'm going to finish all of them because they're so rich. But definitely worth it-- they're an easy way to satisfy any chocolate fix. :)
