Description

These Brownie Bite Gnomes are an adorable and delicious treat perfect for parties or festive gatherings. Made with moist brownie bites topped with a creamy cream cheese frosting beard, a fresh strawberry hat, and a cute Reese’s Puffs cereal nose, they bring whimsy and sweetness together in a fun no-bake dessert that’s easy to assemble and sure to impress.

Ingredients

Scale

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, taking care not to cut straight across the tops to preserve their natural shape.
  2. Prepare Frosting Bag: Place the cream cheese frosting into a piping bag, or use a sandwich bag with a small corner snipped off to create a piping nozzle for easy application.
  3. Pipe Frosting Beard: Pipe the frosting over the top of each brownie bite and down one side to mimic a beard for the gnome face, ensuring good coverage for a whimsical look.
  4. Add Strawberry Hat and Nose: Place a strawberry on top of each frosted brownie bite to resemble a gnome’s hat, then press one Reese’s Puffs cereal piece onto the frosting as the gnome’s nose.
  5. Chill and Serve: Refrigerate the completed brownie bite gnomes immediately for at least one hour to allow the frosting to set. Serve chilled for best texture and appearance. They are best enjoyed the day they are made but can be stored refrigerated for 1-2 days.

Notes

  • Ensure strawberries are completely dry before assembling to avoid sogginess.
  • If a piping bag is not available, a small plastic sandwich bag with a corner cut off works well to pipe the frosting.
  • Use fresh strawberries and consume the gnomes within two days for optimal freshness and flavor.
  • Brownie bites can be homemade or purchased store-bought based on your preference and convenience.
  • Refrigerate the assembled gnomes immediately to keep the frosting firm and maintain freshness.
