I tried this idea with my son who loves to bake and I cut the mini-size 3 musketeers, twix and chocolate m&m's to prepare for the kids in his class. This was a fun and exciting project to try with the kids...It is a very inexpensive recipe for a class of 25. I did use the miniature cupcakes for the class and uses the regular sized ones for my husband a few..They all enjoyed it and there was some extras for the teachers to have some as well. I received rave reviews on this baked good and will definitely use it again..

I would also suggest to be sure that the "gem" is placed as close to the bottom as possible and covered on with a little brownie mix. Also, I did not use the chocalate lovers on the second go around the first time it was SUPER rich and didnt want the kids bouncing off the wall too much.....

So does the "gem" get baked with the batter - or put on once batch is taken out oven? Seems like the hershey kisses would melt?

It goes on before you bake, it melts but as long as you don't touch it it keeps its shape and hardens back to normal as it cools! A friend always does small Reese's cups and pushes them down as well...Xtra good!

The kisses melted because chocolate melts in heat for too long! I think the picture shown is inaccurate. It looks like they added the kisses immediately after the brownies finished baking so they only melted a little at the bottom. I think the center is supposed to be the kiss so it won't actually look like a kiss when you bite into it. Hope that helps!
