Ingredients

Brownies

  • 1 (15 Ounce) Box Brownie Mix
  • 24 Each Chocolate Kisses
  • 2 Each Large Eggs
  • Cup Vegetable Oil
  • ¼ Cups Water

Stabilized Whipped Cream

  • 2 Cups Heavy Whipping Cream
  • 2 Tablespoons Powdered Sugar
  • 2 Tablespoons Instant White Chocolate Pudding Mix

Optional Garnish

  • Peppermint Sticks
  • Mini Marshmallows
  • Chocolate Sauce

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 350°F. 
  • Prepare a 24 mini muffin pan by spraying with a baking spray that includes flour.
  • Prepare the brownie mix according to the package directions.
    1 (15 Ounce) Box Brownie Mix, 2 Each Large Eggs, ⅔ Cup Vegetable Oil, ¼ Cups Water
  • Fill mini muffin cups ⅔ full of the brownie batter. 
  • Bake for 7-10 minutes or until the edges are set but the centers are still soft, not liquid.
  • As soon as you remove them from the oven, press one chocolate kiss into each brownie bite (pointed down, flat part on top). You can leave them as is or as soon as they begin to melt and soften you can use a thin spatula or a spoon to smooth out the chocolate and make it look more like cocoa!
    24 Each Chocolate Kisses
  • Allow the brownie cups to cool completely then transfer them to a cooling rack. Melt some of the remaining Chocolate kisses and spoon on top of the brownie bites and allow to cool again.
  • While they are cooling, prepare the stabilized whipped cream.
    2 Cups Heavy Whipping Cream
  • Whip the heavy cream at high speed (in a very cold bowl) until it starts to thicken.  Add the powdered sugar and continue beating until soft peaks will form. 
    2 Tablespoons Powdered Sugar
  • Add the white chocolate pudding mix and beat until stiff peaks form.  Watch it carefully, as this can happen quickly.  You don’t want to overmix or it will curdle.
    2 Tablespoons Instant White Chocolate Pudding Mix
  • When the brownies are fully cooled you may pipe on the stabilized whipped cream.  Garnish with mini marshmallows, pieces of peppermint sticks, sprinkles and chocolate sauce if desired.
