Ingredients
Scale
Brownie Bites
- 24 Brownie bites, store-bought or homemade
Cream Cheese Frosting
- 1 cup cream cheese frosting (store-bought or homemade)
Fruit
- 24 fresh strawberries, washed and dried
Toppings
- 24 Reese’s Puffs cereal pieces
Instructions
- Prepare Strawberries: Wash the strawberries thoroughly and let them dry completely. Remove the green leaves and carefully cut out the stem with a small knife to create a small hole, making sure not to slice straight across the tops to preserve the berry shape.
- Prepare Frosting Bag: Transfer the cream cheese frosting into a piping bag or a small plastic sandwich bag with one corner snipped off to create a piping nozzle.
- Pipe Frosting Beard: Pipe the frosting over the top of each brownie bite and down one side to mimic a beard, creating the face of the gnome.
- Add Strawberry Hat and Nose: Place a strawberry on top of each brownie bite as the gnome’s hat, then press one Reese’s Puff cereal piece onto the frosting to form the nose.
- Chill and Serve: Refrigerate the assembled brownie bite gnomes immediately for at least one hour to allow the frosting to set. Serve chilled for best taste and presentation. Consume within 1-2 days for optimal freshness.
Notes
- Ensure strawberries are completely dry before assembly to prevent soggy treats.
- If you don’t have a piping bag, use a small plastic sandwich bag with a corner cut off for easy frosting application.
- Use fresh strawberries and consume within 2 days to maintain flavor and appearance.
- Brownie bites can be made at home or bought pre-made based on your preference and time.
- Refrigerate immediately after assembling to keep the frosting firm and fresh.
