Strawberry Santa hat brownie bites
When it comes to holiday baking, quick and festive treats are always a win. These strawberry Santa hat brownie bites are a fun way to turn a simple box of brownie mix into a Christmas dessert that kids and adults will love.
Equipment
- Mini muffin pan
- Whisk
Ingredients
- 1 box brownie mix (plus ingredients listed on the box -water, oil, eggs)
- 24 medium Strawberries
- 8 ounces Cool Whip
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F
- Make the brownie batter following the directions on the package.
- Spoon the batter evenly into a mini muffin pan.
- Bake in preheated oven for 12–14 minutes, until set.
- Let the brownie bites cool completely before decorating.
- Fill a piping bag fitted with a small star tip with Cool Whip.
- Pipe a swirl of Cool Whip on top of each brownie bite.
- Place a strawberry, trimmed at the top, onto the whipped topping.
- Finish by adding a tiny dollop of Cool Whip on the tip of each strawberry to look like a hat.
Notes
- Make sure brownies are completely cooled before decorating or the whipped topping will melt.
- Trim strawberries evenly so the hats sit flat on top of the brownies.
For a fuzzy “snowy” look, dip the whipped topping in unsweetened coconut before adding the strawberry. - Undecorated brownie bites can sit at room temperature for 2 days, but decorated ones should be kept in the fridge.
- Use a piping bag with a star tip for a neat swirl, or a zip-top bag with the corner snipped for a quick alternative.
