How To Make Grinch Brownie Bites
Preheat your 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 3/4 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.
Make the 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 tbsp. milk if the frosting is too thick.
Add the frosting to a piping bag and snip off the tip.
Add a little swirl of frosting to each brownie bite, and top with a jumbo heart sprinkle.
Important Recipe Notes
Make the brownie batter according to the box mix. To ensure the brownies come out correctly, follow instructions for the batter.
At 12 minutes, check the brownies. Since we are cooking them in a mini muffin tin, they will cook much faster than regular brownies. As soon as you can insert a toothpick and it comes out clean, take the brownies out of the oven.
