Hot Cocoa Brownie Bites

A fun little bite size semi-homemade Christmas treat that is super easy to make for the holidays!

Mini Hot Cocoa Brownies

I needed to make something for a Christmas program, but I didn’t have much time. I had a container of Target’s amazing little brownie bites that I didn’t get around to using yet, so I quick scrolled through Pinterest to see if I could find inspiration.

One of my favorite blogs, Gluesticks , came up! She made something similar, except using a boxed brownie mix. In addition to using Christmas sprinkles, I also used crushed candy cane to give some of them a peppermint flavor!

If you love semi-homemade ideas, then I think you’ll save time with Christmas Tree Cinnamon Rolls , Pillsbury Peanut Butter Blossoms , Stacked Sprinkle Christmas Cookies , Snicker Surprise Peanut Butter Cookies , and 2-Ingredient Peanut Butter Cup Christmas Cookies !

What You’ll Need

24 Mini-Store Bought Brownie Bites

1/2 cup Chocolate Chips

1 1/2 tbsp Butter

2 tsp Milk

2 tsp Corn Syrup

Mini-Marshmallows

Christmas Sprinkles

How to Make Hot Cocoa Brownie Bites

Set out 24 store-bought brownie bites on parchment paper.

Pile little stacks of mini-marshmallows on top of each brownie. (I use 5 per brownie)

Make the ganache by combining 1/2 cup chocolate chips, 1 1/2 tbsp butter, 2 tsp milk, and 2 tsp corn syrup in a small bowl. Melt in the microwave for 30 seconds. Remove and stir until smooth.

Pour a small amount of ganache on top of each pile of mini-marshmallows. Make sure it covers each one enough to keep them in place, but not too much that you can’t see them.

Then sprinkle Christmas sprinkles on top.
