Equipment
- mixing bowl
- spatula
- measuring spoons
- measuring cups
- mini muffin tin
- oven
- wire rack
- piping bag
- knife
- cutting board
Ingredients
Brownie Batter
- 1 box fudge brownie mix 18.3 ounce
- 2 large eggs at room temperature
- 0.5 cup vegetable oil
- 0.25 cup water
Decorations
- 24 small pretzel twists
- 48 brown candy-coated chocolates
- 24 red candy-coated chocolates
- 0.5 cup vanilla frosting
- 1 piping bag or a small resealable plastic bag
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a 24-cup mini muffin tin with paper liners and lightly spray them with non-stick cooking spray.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the brownie mix, eggs, vegetable oil, and water. Stir with a spatula until the batter is smooth and no dry streaks of mix remain.
- Scoop 1 tablespoon of batter into each prepared mini muffin cup, filling them about 3/4 full. Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the brownie bites are set and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with a few moist crumbs attached.
- Let the brownie bites cool in the pan for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely. The tops should be firm to the touch.
- Once completely cool, spread or pipe a small dollop of vanilla frosting onto the top center of each brownie bite. This will act as the glue for the reindeer antlers and eyes.
- Gently press two pretzel twists into the frosting on opposite sides of the top to create the reindeer's antlers. Press two brown candies near the front for the eyes and one red candy just below them for the nose.
Notes
Let brownie bites cool completely before decorating to prevent the frosting from melting.
