Description
This Brownie Bite Gnomes Recipe combines rich, fudgy brownies with creative decorating to create adorable edible gnomes. Perfect for any occasion, these bite-sized treats are sure to bring smiles to everyone’s faces.
Ingredients
- Brownies (homemade or boxed)
- Vanilla or Cream Cheese Frosting
- Candy Melts (red, green, or blue)
- Miniature Noses (M&M's, jelly beans, or mini Nilla wafers)
- Shredded Coconut (optional)
- Edible Candy Eyes (optional)
- Sprinkles/Decorating Gels (optional)
Instructions
- Make sure your brownie bites are completely cooled. If baked, let them chill on a wire rack until room temperature or refrigerate for 15-20 minutes.
- Place your desired color of candy melts into a microwave-safe bowl. Heat in 30-second intervals, stirring until smooth. Transfer melted candy to a small bowl for dipping.
- Dip one corner of a brownie bite into the melted candy to create a triangular or conical hat shape. Let excess candy drip off and place the brownie on parchment paper to set. Repeat with all brownie bites.
- Prepare white frosting for the beards by scooping it into a piping bag fitted with a star tip. Once the candy hats are firm, pipe a 'beard' of frosting underneath the hat.
- Press or pipe a small round candy onto the frosting beard for the nose. If using candy eyes, place them above the nose.
- Let the decorated gnomes sit at room temperature for 15-30 minutes or refrigerate for 10 minutes to allow the frosting to set.
