Do you need a quick sweet to take but you want it semi home-made? Buy mini bite size brownies and top with home-made chocolate ganache. Place the brownies in a cute little candy cup and pipe away with the ganache. Tip # 1 M makes a lovely frosting swirl on top of the brownies. Serve them on a platter or pack in a tin, either way these little treats will make you SHINE!
