Ingredients
Scale
Brownie Bombs
- 9×13 pan brownies (from a box mix or homemade)
- 18 cherries, stemless maraschino
Coating and Decoration
- 1 lb. white almond bark
- Cookie icing (black and orange colors)
- Gumdrops, halved
Instructions
- Prepare Brownie Squares: Cut the edges off the baked brownies and slice them into 18 equal squares to ensure uniform size for each brownie bomb.
- Insert Cherry: Place one brownie piece in your palm and press a stemless maraschino cherry into the center of the brownie square.
- Form Brownie Balls: Wrap the brownie around the cherry completely and roll it into a smooth ball shape to encase the cherry fully.
- Arrange on Baking Sheet: Place each brownie ball onto a parchment-lined baking sheet to prepare for chilling prior to coating.
- Repeat: Continue the process with the remaining brownie squares and cherries until all 18 brownie bombs are formed and placed on the sheet.
- Chill Balls: Refrigerate the brownie bombs for 15-20 minutes to firm them up, making them easier to coat.
- Melt Almond Bark: In a medium microwave-safe bowl, melt the white almond bark by heating in 30-second increments, stirring between intervals, until smooth and fully melted.
- Coat Brownie Bombs: Using two forks, dip each chilled brownie bomb into the melted almond bark, rolling it to coat completely. Return the coated balls to the parchment-lined baking sheet.
- Add Ear Muffs: Cut the gumdrops in half and press one half on either side of each coated brownie bomb to resemble earmuffs.
- Decorate Faces: Use black and orange cookie icing to pipe on details including the earmuff headband, eyes, mouth, and carrot-like nose for a snowman face.
- Serve: Allow the coating and icing to set slightly before serving these festive Snowman Brownie Bombs to your guests.
Notes
- Brownies can be homemade or store-bought to save time.
- Ensure cherries are well-drained to avoid excess moisture inside the brownie bombs.
- Use room temperature icing for smoother piping and better control of details.
- Store brownie bombs in an airtight container in the fridge to maintain freshness.
- White almond bark can be substituted with melting white chocolate chips if preferred.
