Ingredients
Scale
Brownie Bites
- 24 brownie bites, store-bought or homemade
Frosting
- 1 cup cream cheese frosting, store-bought or homemade
Toppings
- 24 fresh strawberries, washed and dried
- 24 Reese’s Puffs cereal pieces
Instructions
- Prepare Strawberries: Wash the strawberries thoroughly and allow them to dry completely. Remove the green leaves carefully, and with a small knife, cut out the stem area to create a small hole without cutting straight across the tops of the berries, preserving their natural shape.
- Prepare Frosting Bag: Transfer the cream cheese frosting into a piping bag. If a piping bag isn’t available, use a sandwich bag with a small corner snipped off to form a makeshift piping nozzle for ease of decorating.
- Pipe Frosting Beard: Pipe the frosting over the top of each brownie bite, extending down one side to resemble a gnome’s beard, ensuring an even and decorative layer that will hold the strawberry and nose.
- Add Strawberry Hat and Nose: Gently place a strawberry on top of each frosted brownie bite to serve as the gnome’s hat. Then, press a single Reese’s Puff cereal piece onto the cream cheese frosting just below the strawberry to mimic the gnome’s nose.
- Chill and Serve: Immediately refrigerate the assembled brownie bite gnomes for at least one hour to allow the frosting to set firmly. For best presentation and taste, serve them the same day, though they can be stored covered in the refrigerator for up to two additional days.
Notes
- Ensure strawberries are completely dry before assembling to help frosting adhere properly.
- Use fresh cream cheese frosting for the best flavor and consistency.
- If desired, homemade brownie bites and frosting can be used for a more personalized touch.
- Refrigerate the assembled gnomes to keep the frosting firm and the strawberries fresh.
- These treats are best enjoyed within two days for optimal texture and appearance.
