Receta Cherry & Coke Brownie Bites
by Shannon Millisor

These little brownie bites are so cute

and suspiciously reminiscent of Black Forest Cake. I didn't plan it that way

but that's how they turned out. I made these with Coke to put a twist on a Coke

Cake with Coke brownies as my goal. I think the cherry in the center looks

pretty and really adds to the cherry flavor of the bites. The star shaped

frosting also makes adorable flowers if you wanted to go that direction. I put

white centers in a few of them (I didn't take pictures though) and they were

really cute.

You could also use fresh cherries

probably and it would give it a different but still delicious cherry flavor. I

was also thinking for Christmas green cherries in some and red cherries in

others might be fun :). I'm a little wild like that, and I do know it's June. I

have a while to go before I think about winter treats. Let stick with these for

now :) Happy Baking!
