Double Chocolate Cream Cheese Brownie Bites

1 package Namaste Foods Brownie Mix
3 eggs
3/4 cup oil or melted butter
3/4 cup hot water
1/3 cup gluten free semi-sweet chocolate chips
Frosting (optional):

3 oz cream cheese, softened
5 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened
2 cups powdered sugar

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F. Mix brownie mix according to package directions with the required oil, eggs and water. Using a cookie scoop, scoop the batter into well-greased mini muffin pans.
  2. Bake for 17-20 minutes or until toothpick inserted in center comes out with moist crumbs. Immediately after removing the brownie bites from the oven, press an indention into each one, using the back of a 1/2 tsp measuring spoon. While the brownies are still warm, place 3 or 4 semi-sweet chocolate chips into each center. Allow to cool completely on wire rack.
  3. To make the frosting, use an electric mixer to beat the butter, cream cheese and powdered sugar and beat until smooth. Frost the brownie bites if desired and enjoy!
