Candy Cane Kisses Brownie Bites will be the star dessert at your holiday party!

Move over pumpkin, it’s all about peppermint these days. This time of year, I’m crazy for these candy cane kisses. I always buy a few bags and use them for our little advent calendar. We all love them at our house. Candy Cane kisses + brownies + cream cheese frosting + bite size?! It just doesn’t get much better than that!

What you need to make Candy Cane Kiss Brownie Bites:

Hershey’s Candy Cane Kisses
brownie box mix or make brownies from scratch(linked)
butter
cream cheese
vanilla extract
peppermint extract
powdered sugar

How to make Candy Cane Kiss Brownie Bites:

Prepare brownie batter: Using a brownie box mix, mix brownie batter as directed.
Bake: Spray plenty of non-stick spray in each compartment of your mini muffin pan to stop the brownies from sticking in the pan. You can also use mini cupcake liners, but be sure to spray those too. Using a small scooper or spoon, fill the mini muffin tin 2/3 way full with brownie batter. Bake for 15 minutes at 350.
Cool: Let cool completely before trying to remove from the muffin pan. While the brownie bites are cooling, you can prepare the peppermint cream cheese frosting. Once the brownie bites are removed from the pan, place on a platter or on a cooling rack.
Make frosting: Mix the butter, cream cheese, mint extract, vanilla extract and powdered sugar together in your mixer until you reach a desired consistency for the frosting. Using a wide tip, insert the tip into a Ziploc bag or a frosting bag and get ready to put the frosting on your brownie bites.
Finishing Touches: Lastly, place a Hershey’s candy cane kiss on the top for the finishing touch.

How to store Candy Cane Kiss Brownie Bites:

You can keep these brownies at room temperature in an airtight container for about a week. They also taste so good chilled in the refrigerator!

Using boxed brownies for Candy Cane Kiss Brownie Bites:

To make this process easier while still being delicious, we like to use boxed brownie mix. Just use your favorite brand, or if you’re feeling really fancy, you can make your own homemade brownies instead.

Peppermint cream cheese frosting:

Are you a big peppermint and chocolate fan? The flavors compliment each other so well! In these brownies we add peppermint extract to the cream cheese frosting to pair perfectly with the fudgy brownie. You’re going to love it!

Something about bite sized desserts is so appealing! These babies went fast at our house, and I’m sure your family and friends will love them too! Looking for more bite sized desserts? I bet you can find a favorite in this list:
