MUFFOWNIE...?!?!....
What are those, you asked???
It's a made up word, to closely describe a combination of delicious brownies in the form of muffins. These can be decorated with a frosting to make them even more tasty and more rich (read more calories...;) )
They are very popular at B-day parties or any get together, considering you'll actually have the time to bake them and to decorate...
Many times, friends tell me, they rather go to the store and buy ready to eat cupcakes, than to bake.
The cleaning after the baking process is not something they like to do....
However, once you taste these, it's hard to go back to the store bought "bla" tasting... stuff...!
a CHERRY on top would be perfect here....
but not everybody like cherries and I didn't have any on hand, to be honest...
