Ingredients
Scale
Brownie Bites
- 36 brownie bites (store-bought or homemade, see note)
Frosting
- 1 can vanilla frosting
- Green food coloring, as needed
Decoration
- 36 Mellowcreme Pumpkins (candy corn pumpkins)
Instructions
- Arrange Brownie Bites: Place the 36 brownie bites in a single layer on a cookie sheet lined with parchment paper or wax paper. This ensures they remain neat and easy to decorate.
- Prepare Frosting: Add green food coloring to the vanilla frosting until you achieve a vibrant green color. Transfer the colored frosting into a piping bag fitted with a grass piping tip to create texture.
- Pipe Frosting: Pipe the green frosting onto each brownie bite to resemble grass. Alternatively, you can simply spread the frosting evenly over the tops of the brownie bites if you prefer a simpler decoration.
- Add Pumpkin Toppers: Finish each brownie bite by placing one Mellowcreme Pumpkin candy on top of the grass frosting to complete the pumpkin patch look.
- Store and Serve: Place the decorated brownie bites in an airtight container and refrigerate. Remove from the refrigerator and serve them at room temperature for the best flavor and texture. Avoid freezing the candy pumpkins as they can become damaged.
Notes
- The yield depends on the size and brand of the brownie bites used since packaging quantities vary.
- You can use homemade brownie bites if you prefer a scratch-made option for better flavor and texture.
- A grass piping tip is recommended to create a realistic grassy effect, but spreading frosting works as a simpler alternative.
- Store the brownie bites in the refrigerator but serve them at room temperature to maintain optimal taste and softness.
- Do not freeze the candy pumpkins as they may lose their shape and texture.
