Although we were allowed to use a package mix, mini-brownie bites were what K wanted. With a raspberry plopped right in to the middle. I had to do some serious maths to recalculate the amount of cooking time required for the mini-ness and the raspberri-ness and it took several attempts before we got the proper done-ness.
Because of the proximity to the holiday, the decorating theme was easy. Although we wanted to make flags, the mini-ness sort of took away the space required.
We compromised.
The nieces / cousins didn't really care so much that there were no flags on the brownie bites.
And all of a sudden my hopes that 48 brownie bites might get me through the family dinner AND the two meetings I have at my house on Monday and Tuesday evening this week - were . . .
. . . gone!!
Just vanished!
Not even one little brownie bite left for this guy who was waiting at the end of my parent's driveway as we pulled out. Guess he knows where to go for leftovers!
*Keep your fingers and toes crossed for baby brother Dennis and his beautiful wife Helen; they are expecting a baby early next year; grandchild number 10 in our family! xoxox

Those do look tasty!!
Great raccoon picture there.
Hmm. I fear to ask what Kathryn thinks of abs days...
Kitchen skills will get a person (notice I didn't say "girl") far in the world. You did point out to Kathryn the need for the maths?
That raccoon looks so sad that he didn't get any.
Yum. My K did some baking this weekend, too!
Big congrats to Dennis & Helen!! Exciting news... fingers crossed.
Is it just me or do those look like Obama's symbol?
First its brownie bites and then it is a quick move to the elusive cake pop...
The racoon is pretty cute.
Now I know why you're thinking chocolate martini.... They look awesome - the kids sure had fun making them, and the raccoon's hilarious!
I can't believe you didn't save me a brownie bite!
That raccoon looks really hungry, I don't think I'd mess with him.
That raccoon looks so cute! He also looks like he's taking down your license plate number. I'd watch out.
Those brownie bites look scrumptious.
Awesome job decorating those brownie bites! Kathryn may have a grand career at Le Cordon Blue in her future.
Great job with the brownies! One of the padies in a Rav group I hang out in made ALien cupcakes with her son this weekend. Check out this book - it might be just the thing for Kathryn.

MMMMMMM. and I adore the raccoon on his haunches!
Yumm... Those brownies look good. I love that raccoon pic. He does look like he could use a brownie too.
Point that child to Alton Brown and Good Eats, woman!
Way to go, kiddo.
Should I be worried that the raccoon makes me think of pao?
Those brownies looked yummy. I'm feeling very hungry!!
