Preparation

Step 1

Instructions Cake Bites:
In a large bowl, mix sugar, flour, and salt, set aside. In a saucepan, bring water, cocoa powder, and butter to a boil. Remove from heat and pour over dry ingredients, lightly mixing together. Add milk and eggs and blend well.(batter will be thin)

Place 1 tablespoon of batter in the cups of a heavily greased mini muffin tin. Bake at 350 for 10-12 minutes or until baked through. Let cool before gently removing muffins to a wire rack to completely cool.

Frosting:
Heat milk, butter and cocoa in a medium saucepan until bubbly. Mix in sugar and vanilla until smooth. Stir in nuts until incorporated. Carefully spoon about a tablespoon of frosting over the top of each muffin bite. Let set before eating.
