blintz brownie bites
Have you ever wondered what the filling of a cheese blintz would taste like with a chewy chocolaty brownie? Recently, while dining at my grandparents' retirement home, we were served the BEST cheese blintzes we have ever put in our mouths. I dashed into my kitchen to try and recreate them. I admit, I didn't nail it on my first try. However, when I tried for the second time, perfection. And I thought, what two flavor combos do we find most comforting... cheese and chocolate, of course. This sweet treat was born.
