Fun and easy cherry-topped brownie bites are fabulous for a party, Christmas, Valentine's Day, or anytime!
How absolutely precious are these little cherry-topped brownie bites? I just love them! I think they have so much potential ... great for a party ... a potluck ... a Christmas dessert tray .... or Valentine's Day!
And they're so absolutely easy, it's not even funny. Seriously. Easy.
All you do is bake up a batch of your favorite brownies. I used a regular ol' box mix. Then, use a round cookie cutter or biscuit cutter to cut brownie circles from your pan of brownies. Be sure to eat all the scraps you want. It's fun that way.
And finally, top each brownie circle with a cherry and a dab of the 'juice' from a can of cherry pie filling. Sweet! You've got cherry-topped brownie bites!
They're just the perfect size for a little finger food sweet treat. Serve 'em up on a platter and they're pretty, too. Fun and tasty doesn't get much easier than that!
Thank you for stopping by The Kitchen is My Playground. We'd love to have you back soon!

Cherry-Topped Brownie Bites
Fun and easy cherry-topped brownie bites are fabulous for a party, Christmas, Valentine's Day, or anytime!
Prep time: 15 MCook time: Total time: 15 M
Ingredients:
- A baked batch of your favorite brownies (I use a box mix)
- 1 1/2 inch or 2 inch round cookie cutter or biscuit cutter
- 1 can cherry pie filling
Instructions:
- Cool brownies completely after baking.
- Use the round cookie cutter or biscuit cutter to cut as many circles as possible out of the pan of brownies. (Note - using a 1 1/2 inch cutter, you'll get around 30 brownie bites from a 9x13" pan.)
- Place brownie circles on a serving platter. Just before serving, top each brownie circle with a cherry and a bit of the cherry liquid from the cherry pie filling.
Yum, never thought of putting them together. Like your idea. Pat

ReplyDeleteSure does, Alli! I know it's really hard to make eating brownies any more fun than it already is ... but hey, everything's better with a cherry on top!
