Description

Delightfully whimsical Brownie Bite Gnomes are easy-to-make treats perfect for festive occasions or a fun dessert. Featuring moist brownie bites topped with cream cheese frosting shaped into beards, fresh strawberries as hats, and Reese’s Puffs as noses, these charming gnome-inspired snacks combine simple ingredients to create a playful and delicious dessert that’s sure to impress family and friends.

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

  1. 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, taking care not to cut straight across the tops to maintain the berry shape.
  2. Prepare Frosting Bag: Place the cream cheese frosting into a piping bag, or alternatively into a small sandwich bag with one corner snipped off to form a piping nozzle suitable for detailed frosting application.
  3. Pipe Frosting Beard: Pipe the frosting over the top of each brownie bite and down one side to create a beard shape resembling a gnome’s face, ensuring a generous and neat application for visual appeal.
  4. Add Strawberry Hat and Nose: Place a strawberry on top of each frosted brownie bite to act as the gnome’s hat. Press one Reese’s Puffs cereal piece onto the frosting on the front side to represent the gnome’s nose.
  5. Chill and Serve: Refrigerate the completed brownie bite gnomes immediately for at least one hour to allow the frosting to set firmly. These treats are best served the same day but can be stored in the refrigerator for up to two more days to maintain freshness.

Notes

  • Ensure strawberries are completely dry before assembly to prevent sogginess on the brownie bites.
  • If a piping bag is not available, a small plastic sandwich bag with a corner cut off works perfectly for piping frosting.
  • Use fresh strawberries and consume the finished treats within 2 days for optimal taste and appearance.
  • Brownie bites can be either homemade or store-bought based on your preference and convenience.
  • Refrigerate immediately after preparing to keep the frosting firm and the treats fresh.
