Instructions

Prepare Strawberries: Wash the strawberries thoroughly and let them dry completely. Remove the green leaves and carefully cut out the stem with a small knife to create a small hole, being careful not to cut straight across the tops so the berries keep their shape.
Prepare Frosting Bag: Place the cream cheese frosting into a piping bag or a sandwich bag with a small corner snipped off to create a piping nozzle for easy and controlled frosting application.
Pipe Frosting Beard: Pipe the frosting over the top of each brownie bite and down one side to resemble a gnome beard, creating the face area below the strawberry “hat.”
Add Strawberry Hat and Nose: Place a strawberry on top of each brownie bite, positioning it to look like the gnome’s hat. Then press one Reese’s Puffs cereal piece gently onto the frosting as the nose.
Chill and Serve: Refrigerate the assembled brownie bite gnomes immediately for at least one hour to allow the frosting to set firmly. These treats are best enjoyed the day they are made but can be stored in the fridge for 1 to 2 additional days.

Notes

Ensure strawberries are completely dry before assembling to prevent sogginess.
If you don’t have a piping bag, a small plastic sandwich bag with a corner cut works well for piping frosting.
Use fresh strawberries and consume within 2 days for best taste and appearance.
Brownie bites can be homemade or store-bought depending on convenience and preference.
Refrigerate immediately after preparing to keep frosting firm and fresh.
