Dark Chocolate Chip Protein Brownie Bites

Gooey, fudgey, chocolatey, perfection. These brownie bites will definitely impress you. The pictures really don’t do them justice. They are so soft and gooey with a decadent chocolate flavor that will have you addicted! If you like your brownies more chewy, increase the cooking time by 2 minutes. If you like them gooey, check them around 6 minutes. I liked these gooey ~ they practically melt in your mouth. Let’s not forget that they are “healthyfied”! Although they taste really naughty, I don’t feel as guilty putting down a few of these since there are only 70 calories/brownie bite.
