My. Word. I had to do a hurry-up photo shoot before losing the daylight.  You’ll notice the glaze is nice and gooey and while we enjoyed them this way, once they have time to properly rest, the glaze will harden like a delicious chocolate bar.  Pour yourself a cold glass a milk and get ready for Peanut Butter Brownie Bites {of Love} to make your day. Here are a couple pictures taken from the back deck vs. the front porch.  Cool lighting differences. Here are some additional photos I took along the way.
