Cool completely before proceeding.\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003ETo make the  ganache, break up your chocolate and place it into a narrow, but deep  bowl.    Stir the syrup and vanilla into the hot cream, mixing it in  well.  Pour this over the chocolate in the bowl and stir to melt the  chocolate, whisking it all together until completely smooth.  Using a  fork and spoon dip the brownie bites into the ganache, coating them on  all sides and allowing the excess to drip off.  Place on a wire rack  over top of some baking paper and leave to set.  You will want to add  any sprinkles etc. to the tops before the ganache sets completely.   Don't refrigerate or your ganache will cloud up, and you want it to be  nice and shiny."},"link":[{"rel":"replies","type":"application/atom+xml","href":"https:\/\/www.theenglishkitchen.co\/feeds\/6868976172965725551\/comments\/default","title":"Post Comments"},{"rel":"replies","type":"text/html","href":"https:\/\/www.theenglishkitchen.co\/2010\/09\/itty-bitty-brownie-bites.html#comment-form","title":"15 Comments"},{"rel":"edit","type":"application/atom+xml","href":"https:\/\/www.blogger.com\/feeds\/7100882347408067241\/posts\/default\/6868976172965725551"},{"rel":"self","type":"application/atom+xml","href":"https:\/\/www.blogger.com\/feeds\/7100882347408067241\/posts\/default\/6868976172965725551"},{"rel":"alternate","type":"text/html","href":"https:\/\/www.theenglishkitchen.co\/2010\/09\/itty-bitty-brownie-bites.html","title":"Itty Bitty Brownie Bites"}],"author":[{"name":{"$t":"Marie Rayner"},"uri":{"$t":"http:\/\/www.blogger.com\/profile\/00407913432222377267"},"email":{"$t":"noreply@blogger.com"},"gd$image":{"rel":"http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail","width":"32","height":"32","src":"\/\/blogger.googleusercontent.com\/img\/b\/R29vZ2xl\/AVvXsEhzMjK9JXF9J07LjT7q87CzFr7lfbY_b46M6Ckbl4uoouXZe8fbXl8jvYZLZFb_ifxpDJ6VrklMQnta28K-9eJR25vccys5WempX6-vlNwIc3v8H5_Mg12SYfbzVf0Ucg\/s220\/profile+pic.jpg"}}],"thr$total":{"$t":"15"}}]}});
