Ingredients
Scale
Brownie Base
- 20 pieces Two-bite Brownies (store-bought or homemade)
Topping
- 20 Strawberries (preferably similar in size)
- 1 cup Vanilla Frosting (creamy and sweet)
Instructions
- Prepare Ingredients: Gather all the ingredients and ensure your brownie bites are ready to use, whether homemade or store-bought.
- Trim Strawberries: Carefully cut the tops off each strawberry to create a flat base, making them easier to place on the brownies and resemble Santa hats.
- Assemble Hats: Place one trimmed strawberry on top of each brownie bite, centering it to achieve the classic Santa hat effect.
- Pipe Frosting Base: Use a piping bag or a ziplock bag with a small corner cut off to pipe frosting around the base of each strawberry. This mimics the fluffy white trim of Santa hats.
- Add Frosting Pom-Pom: Add a small dollop of frosting on the very top of each strawberry to complete the Santa hat look.
- Serve: Arrange the finished Santa hats on a festive tray and enjoy immediately or refrigerate until serving.
Notes
- Use similarly sized strawberries and brownie bites to ensure uniform appearance and easier assembly.
- Vanilla frosting can be homemade or store-bought depending on preference.
- For easier piping, slightly warm the frosting to soften it before applying.
- Keep assembled treats refrigerated if not serving immediately to maintain freshness.
- Try using gluten-free brownies if needed to accommodate dietary restrictions.
