sea salted oatmeal stout brownie bites

it is my sisters fault that i am obsessed with trader joes

the very first thing we do after picking me up from the airport is to shop at trader joes

i love everything about that store

this is where she introduced me to sea salted brownie bites - can you say amazing!

of course, that is where the inspiration for this recipe came from - you can thank my sister

after one bite you will want to marry her for inspiring this recipe

 organic oatmeal stout is added to the batter, lending a subtle richness to the bites 

chocolate chunks and cocoa powder are both used to create a super chocolaty brownie

brownies are much more fun baked as bites - of course you could bake them in a normal square pan,

but what is the fun it that?

sprinkled with sea salt - the perfect salty sweet treat

made even better when enjoyed with a friend

perfect little bites for your almost perfect little world
