Grinch Brownie Bites (Mini Brownies with Green Buttercream Frosting)
Grinch brownie bites start with a boxed brownie mix, baked so every single one comes out perfectly crispy on the edges and fudgy in the middle. They are topped with homemade green frosting and a tiny heart for that unmistakable Grinch look.
Equipment
- Cooking spray
Ingredients
For the mini brownie bites
- 1 box brownie mix plus ingredients to prepare
For the Grinch frosting
- ½ cup butter softened but not melted
- 2 cups powdered sugar
- 1-2 tablespoons whole milk if needed
- 1 teaspoon vanilla bean paste
- 1 pinch salt
- neon green gel food color
- 24 heart-shaped sprinkles
Instructions
For the mini brownie bites
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Spray a mini muffin tin with nonstick spray.
- Prepare the brownies according to package directions. Fill the mini muffin tin spaces ¾ full with brownie batter.
- Bake in the oven for 12-15 min, until a toothpick inserted into the center of one of the center brownie bites comes out clean.
For the Grinch frosting
- Beat together the butter and powdered sugar. Add vanilla, salt, and a generous amount of neon green gel food coloring. Mix until well combined. If needed, add 1-2 tablespoons of milk if the frosting is too thick. Add just enough to get it to a smooth consistency.
- Add the frosting to a piping bag and snip off the tip.
- Add a little swirl of frosting to the top of each brownie bite, and top with a heart sprinkle.
