Chocolate Brownie Bites

I had to share this very simple, yet VERY yummy recipe that I made this afternoon with ya all! :) Chocolate is my weakness and I wanted to make a little treat, but this is only a half-devilish treat as it uses Splenda sweetener, so it makes it more enjoyable to know that you're not adding a ton of sugar to your body! I also actually used Becel margarine instead of the butter, since I was out of real butter and they turned out just great. Bonus...less fat, too! lol :)
