Ingredients
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, taking care not to cut straight across the tops to maintain the berry’s shape.
- Prepare Frosting Bag: Place the cream cheese frosting into a piping bag, or alternatively into 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 resemble a gnome’s beard, creating a charming face base.
- Add Strawberry Hat and Nose: Place one strawberry on top of each brownie bite to act as the gnome’s hat, then press one Reese’s Puffs cereal piece onto the frosting as the gnome’s nose.
- Chill and Serve: Refrigerate the finished brownie bite gnomes immediately for at least one hour to allow the frosting to set. Serve chilled for best taste and texture. These treats are best enjoyed the same day but can be stored in the refrigerator for up to two days.
Notes
- Ensure strawberries are completely dry before assembly to prevent sogginess.
- If you don’t have a piping bag, use a small plastic sandwich bag with a corner cut off to pipe the frosting.
- Use fresh strawberries and consume the gnomes within 2 days for optimal taste and appearance.
- Brownie bites can be homemade or store-bought based on your convenience and preference.
- Refrigerate immediately after preparation to keep the frosting firm and fresh.
