Sometimes when I get the chance to bake, I usually like to  make small portion. Either I only make half from original recipe or make them into minis. When I decide to make only half (small batch) from original recipe as I don’t know if the recipe works well ( in other way, taste good like I expected). And I think, minis are perfect bite size.
