I invited a few friends, put on a pink dress, popped a few bottles of champagne and it was a sweet success! Thanks to all that came over and celebrated with me, I wish I could have invited more people but unfortunately I have about a 4 person max occupancy in my teeny house!

The peanut butter cookie and chocolate cake recipe I posted already but the brownie bon bons are AWESOME and super easy:
You can make your own brownies, or buy a box mix, (if you decide to do the box option I highly recommend Ghiredelli's). Make the brownies and let cool.
Scoop or cut out about a tablespoon worth of brownie, or larger/smaller depending on how big you want your bon bons. Mold into a ball, brownies are so moist you don't need to add anything. Just stay away from the edge pieces, they won't make a very smooth ball. You'll have to think of other ways of disposing of those.....there's a slim (OK, maybe extremely likely) chance I ate mine.
Cover in chocolate. For mine I melted semi-sweet chocolate chips with about 1 tablespoon of butter per bag of chips, and a little less then 1/4 cup heavy cream. I wanted the chocolate to set up pretty good, so I didn't add as much cream and butter as I usually would for a ganache.
Set on waxed or parchment paper to dry, but while wet sprinkle with sprinkles, nuts, or whatever else you want to decorate with. I did mine some with colored sprinkles, some with a chili/chocolate sugar, and some with a citrus sugar.
Refrigerate until party then devour!
