Cream Cheese Frosting - 5 points

In case you missed it when I posted them the first time, those are my Strawberry Brownie Bonbons. They are awesome.  In fact, my fab friend Lisa asked me to make some for her birthday. I was happy to oblige. I decided, since she is a fab friend, that I would even go the extra mile of making the cream cheese frosting instead of using the stuff from a can. As with most things, the homemade version tastes way better than the store bought. (If you use this frosting recipe in your bonbons, please remember that a can of frosting contains only 16 oz of frosting. I didn't remember this and had to throw a whole batch of bonbons in the trash and start over.)

I cannot think of a witty way to introduce my menu. If you have a suggestion, please offer it (extra points for puns and sarcasm).

Now I am off to view your lovely blogs. If I leave a comment that sounds a bit odd, it is because I have been on the treadmill for so long today that my brain has turned to mush.
