• Preheat oven to 350F and grease mini muffin pan with spray or cooking oil.

Brownie Batter

• Chop the bakers chocolate and microwave in 15 second increments, stirring in between, until melted. Set aside.
• In a large mixing bowl combine melted butter and sugar. Whisk by hand until smooth.
  1/2 C salted butter, 1 C white sugar
• Add in the eggs and vanilla and continue to mix. Whisk vigorously, by hand, for a good 3 minutes. Well whisked eggs is what gives these brownies that shinny crackled top.
  2 large eggs, 2 tsp vanilla extract
• Pour in the melted chocolate and whisk until mixture is well combined.
  4 oz semi sweet bakers chocolate
• Sift in the flour, cocoa powder, and salt. Using a rubber spatula mix the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients just until combined. Do not over mix.
  3/4 C all purpose flour, 1/4 C unsweetened cocoa powder, 1/2 tsp salt
• Fold in the chocolate chips.
  1 C semi sweet chocolate chips
• Scoop 1.5 tablespoons worth of batter into each muffin tin. I like to use a small cookie scoop. Once all tins are filled, hit the pan a few times on the counter to help spread the batter.
• Cook brownies for 11-13 minutes or until the tops are shiny. You don't want to over bake.
• Let the brownie bites cool in the pan until they are room temperature. Gently run a knife around the edges to pop them out.

Chocolate Ganache

• Once the brownie bites are completely cooled its time to make the ganache.
• In a medium sized microwave safe bowl add the chocolate chips, set aside.
  1 C semi sweet chocolate chips
• In another microwave safe bowl add the heavy cream and heat till just before boiling, (about 45 seconds).
  1/4 C heavy cream
• Pour the heated cream over the chocolate chips and let sit for a minute. Mix chocolate and cream together. If there are still chunks of chocolate in the microwave for a few seconds and stir again. The ganache should be completely smooth.

Decorating the Brownie Bites

• Evenly spoon the ganache over the tops of each brownie.
• Sprinkle some oreo crumbs on top of the ganache. Finish by adding a pumpkin candy on top, gently pushing it into the ganache.
