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

  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, being careful not to cut straight across the tops in order to maintain their natural shape.
  2. 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 for easy decorating.
  3. Pipe Frosting Beard: Pipe the frosting over the top of each brownie bite and down one side to resemble a gnome’s beard, creating the characteristic look of the gnome face.
  4. Add Strawberry Hat and Nose: Place a strawberry on top of each frosted brownie bite to act as the gnome’s hat, then press one Reese’s Puffs cereal piece onto the frosting to serve as the 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 refrigerated for up to two additional days.

Notes

  • Ensure strawberries are completely dry before assembly to prevent sogginess.
  • If a piping bag is not available, use a small plastic sandwich bag with a corner cut off for easy frosting application.
  • Use fresh strawberries and consume within two days for optimal taste and appearance.
  • Brownie bites may be homemade or store-bought depending on convenience and preference.
  • Refrigerate immediately after assembling to keep frosting firm and maintain freshness.
