Ingredients

Scale

Brownie Base

  • 1 box brownie mix
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1/3 cup vegetable oil

Toppings

  • 1 cup white chocolate chips
  • 1 cup strawberries, hulls removed
  • 1/2 cup whipped cream
  • 1/4 cup sprinkles (optional)


Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a mini muffin tin with paper liners to prevent sticking and ease removal.
  2. Mix Batter: In a mixing bowl, combine the brownie mix, eggs, and vegetable oil. Stir until the mixture is smooth and well blended.
  3. Fill Muffin Cups: Scoop the prepared brownie batter into each mini muffin cup, filling about two-thirds full to allow room for rising.
  4. Bake Brownies: Place the muffin tin in the oven and bake for 15-18 minutes. Check doneness by inserting a toothpick; it should come out mostly clean with a few moist crumbs.
  5. Cool Brownies: Allow the brownie bites to cool completely in the tin before decorating to ensure toppings set properly.
  6. Melt White Chocolate: Melt the white chocolate chips by microwaving in 30-second intervals, stirring well between each interval until the chocolate is smooth and fully melted.
  7. Decorate Bites: Dip the top of each cooled brownie bite into the melted white chocolate, then immediately top with a hulled strawberry to mimic the Santa hat’s shape.
  8. Add Whipped Cream: Pipe or spoon a generous dollop of whipped cream on top of each strawberry to create the characteristic fluffy pom-pom of Santa’s hat.
  9. Optional Sprinkles: If desired, add colorful sprinkles on the whipped cream for a festive touch and extra holiday cheer.

Notes

  • Ensure brownies are fully cooled before decorating to prevent the toppings from melting.
  • Use fresh, firm strawberries for the best structural hold on the brownie bites.
  • Customize sprinkles to match your party theme or leave them out for a simpler look.
  • You can use store-bought whipped cream or make fresh whipped cream for best flavor.
  • Store brownie bites in an airtight container in the refrigerator and bring to room temperature before serving for optimal taste.
