Happy Labor Day! The unofficial last day of Summer!!! If you are having a bbq or get together and are still looking for a dessert to take...MAKE THESE!!! They taste just like a Rolo with an Irish cream kick! Using a boxed brownie mix as the base, these ooey-gooey brownie bites come together quick and are a great last minute option for a spontaneous get together. I'm already planning on adding them to my holiday baking list too! But in the meantime they are the perfect way to enjoy your "final" day of summer off!
