Easy Christmas Gnomes Brownie Bites

Learn how to make Christmas Gnomes or Christmas Elves (Brownie Bites), whatever you want to call them. They make a great addition to any holiday dessert platter or if you need a simple treat to bring to a party you can make these.

Don't forget to follow me and check out my other Instructables.

Follow the simple steps below or watch the short video tutorial or do both.

Ingredients:

1. 12 strawberries
2. 1/2 cup of frosting (doesn't have to be exact)
3. 12 Brownie bites
4. Cocoa Puffs, Reese's Puffs, Red Hots, etc.

Tools/Equipment:

1. Piping Bag
2. Toothpicks (may or may not need them)

Begin by rinsing and drying the strawberries. Then slice off each of the green stems. Make the cut as flat as possible because that is what will sit on the top of the mini brownie.

Add some frosting to the top of each of the brownie bites. You can use storebought brownie bites or use this homemade brownie recipe and bake them in the mini muffin pans. Then add a sliced strawberry on top of each one.

NOTE: If you plan on making the brownies from scratch, make sure the brownies have cooled completely before assembling the gnomes. If needed chill them in the fridge for a bit first.

Now add a little frosting on the front for the beard and attach a red hot, cocoa puff, or Reese's puff to it for the nose. You could add candy eyes too if you wanted to instead of having the "hat" covering the eyes.

TIP: If the strawberry keeps sliding off the brownie, you can use a toothpick to keep them in place, just let your guests know if there is a toothpick in there.
