Description

These Easy Brownie Bite Gnomes are delightful mini treats perfect for festive occasions or everyday indulgence. Rich and fudgy brownie bites are topped with colorful candy melts and adorable candy eyes to create charming gnome faces. The recipe is straightforward, baking small portions in a mini muffin tin for perfectly portioned, whimsical brownies that kids and adults will love.

Ingredients

Scale

Brownie Bites

  • 1 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 4 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup chocolate chips

Decoration

  • 1 package colorful candy melts
  • 1 cup decorative candy eyes

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven and Prepare Tin: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a mini muffin tin to prevent sticking, ensuring easy removal of the brownie bites after baking.
  2. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, stir together the cocoa powder, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until evenly combined. This forms the chocolatey base of the brownies.
  3. Add Wet Ingredients: Add the melted butter, eggs, and vanilla extract to the dry mixture. Mix thoroughly until all the ingredients come together into a smooth batter.
  4. Incorporate Flour and Salt: Gently fold in the all-purpose flour and salt until just combined to avoid overmixing, then stir in the chocolate chips for added chocolate bursts.
  5. Fill Muffin Tins and Bake: Pour the batter evenly into the prepared mini muffin tin cavities. Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with moist crumbs.
  6. Cool the Brownie Bites: Remove the tin from the oven and allow the brownie bites to cool completely before decorating, ensuring the candy melts won’t melt or slide off.
  7. Melt Candy Coating: In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the colorful candy melts in short bursts, stirring between intervals to achieve a smooth, pourable consistency.
  8. Decorate the Brownie Bites: Dip the tops of each cooled brownie bite into the melted candy melts, then carefully attach decorative candy eyes to create the gnome faces.
  9. Set and Serve: Place the decorated brownie bites on a parchment-lined tray and allow the candy coating to set completely before serving to retain their shape and design.

Notes

  • Use a toothpick to check doneness; moist crumbs indicate perfectly baked brownies.
  • Ensure the brownie bites are completely cooled before dipping to prevent melting the candy melts.
  • Store the finished brownie gnomes in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
  • For variation, try different colors of candy melts to customize your gnome hats.
  • You can substitute candy eyes with small edible decorations if preferred.
