Winter brings chilly days, festive fun, and plenty of reasons to bake. While the kids build snowmen outside, make a batch of Snowman Brownie Bombs indoors — cherries wrapped in brownie, dipped in white chocolate, and decorated to look like tiny snowmen. They’re festive, portable, and perfect for sharing or gifting.
Cherry Brownie Bombs
These little treats are irresistible, complete with gumdrop earmuffs and chocolatey brownie centers. They pair a chewy brownie texture with the sweet pop of a maraschino cherry, all coated in smooth white chocolate. Simple to prepare, they make a great holiday dessert, party bite, or homemade gift.
Key Ingredients You’ll Need
Brownies: Use a homemade batch or a store-bought mix baked in a 9×13 pan.
Cherries: Stemless maraschino cherries work best for the center.
White Almond Bark or White Chocolate Melts: These create a smooth white coating. For decorating, use black and orange cookie icing and small gumdrops for earmuffs.
How To Make Snowman Brownie Bombs
Step 1. Trim the edges from the cooled brownies and cut them into 18 equal squares. Hold one brownie square in your hand, place a stemless maraschino cherry in the center, and wrap the brownie around the cherry, rolling it into a smooth ball. Place each ball on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Chill in the refrigerator for 15–20 minutes to firm up.
Step 2. Melt the white almond bark or white chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl in 30-second intervals, stirring between each interval until smooth. Using two forks, dip and roll the chilled brownie balls in the melted coating, ensuring they are fully covered. Return each coated bomb to the parchment-lined tray to set.
Step 3. Slice gumdrops in half and press one half on each side of the coated brownie ball to resemble earmuffs. Pipe a line of icing across the top to form the headband, then add small dots for eyes, a series of dots or a curved line for the mouth, and a small orange dot for the carrot nose. Allow icing to set before serving.
How To Store Snowman Brownie Bombs?
Store leftover brownie bombs in an airtight container or resealable bag. They keep well at room temperature for 3–5 days. For longer storage, refrigerate up to one week or freeze for up to three months. Thaw frozen bombs in the refrigerator before serving.
Tips & Tricks
- You can make brownies from scratch or use a boxed mix—both work great.
- If you prefer not to use cherries, omit them and form plain brownie balls instead.
- White chocolate chips can be grainy when melted; white almond bark or candy melts give a smoother coating.
- If you’re short on time, skip the decorations and enjoy simple white-coated brownie bites.
