Remember last month when I made Santa Hat Brownies with strawberries? Well I came up with a new way to jazz up some strawberries for the holidays this year. This version takes a little more work with piping all over the strawberries, but certainly not much skill so I highly suggest you give them a try even if you’re nervous about piping.

Total Time
1 hr 20 min
Brownies
- 1 box (18 to 21 oz. box) Brownie Mix
- Additional required ingredients specified in mix package (typically water, eggs and oil)
- 24 whole small-medium size Strawberries
Frosting
- ½ cups butter, softened
- 8 ounces, weight cream cheese
- 1 pound confectioners sugar
- ½ teaspoons vanilla extract
- Green food coloring
- Yellow fondant or star sprinkles, to decorate
- Small ball shaped candies, to decorate
Instructions
- Bake your brownies (you’ll typically need water, eggs, and oil, as directed in mix package) in greased mini-muffin tins filled up 3/4 of the way. You’re going to have to shorten the baking time a bit, so just keep your eyes on them as they bake—they’re done when a cake tester comes out clean.
- As the brownies are baking and cooling, put together your frosting by combining the butter, cream cheese, sugar, and vanilla extract. Dye it green.
- Once baked and cooled, secure the strawberries to the brownies with a dab of frosting. Put frosting in a piping bag fit with a small star tip, and cover the entire strawberry by starting at the strawberry, applying a bit of pressure, and pulling away gently to a nice point.
- Decorate as desired.
