Ingredients
Scale
Brownie Bites
- 36 brownie bites
Frosting
- 1 can vanilla frosting
- Green food coloring
Topping
- 36 Mellowcreme pumpkins (candy corn pumpkins)
Instructions
- Prepare Brownie Bites: Place 36 brownie bites in a single layer on a cookie sheet lined with parchment paper or wax paper to keep them from sticking and make decorating easier.
- Color the Frosting: Mix green food coloring into the vanilla frosting until you achieve the desired shade of green for the grassy look.
- Pipe Frosting: Transfer the green-colored frosting to a piping bag fitted with a grass tip and pipe grass onto each brownie bite. Alternatively, you can simply spread the frosting evenly on top if you prefer.
- Add Pumpkin Topping: Place one Mellowcreme pumpkin candy on top of the frosted area of each brownie bite to resemble a pumpkin patch.
- Storage: Store the decorated brownie bites in an airtight container in the refrigerator. Serve them at room temperature for best flavor and texture. Avoid freezing the candy corn pumpkins as it may affect their texture.
Notes
- The yield depends on the number of brownie bites used, as different brands or homemade versions vary in quantity.
- You can make your own brownie bites from scratch if preferred, using a favorite brownie recipe shaped into bite-size portions.
- Use parchment or wax paper on the baking sheet to prevent sticking and ease cleanup during decorating.
- Keep the decorated bites refrigerated but bring them to room temperature before serving to enhance taste and texture.
- A grass piping tip is ideal to achieve the grassy effect, but spreading the frosting evenly is a simpler alternative.
