Print Recipe

These Easy Witch Hat Brownie Bites are a fun and simple Halloween treat made with a box of brownie mix, Hershey’s Kisses, and frosting. They’re quick to assemble, incredibly cute, and perfect for parties.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 box (18.4 oz) brownie mix (fudge-style recommended)
  • 1 large egg
  • 1/3 cup vegetable oil
  • 2 tablespoons water (or brewed coffee for deeper flavor)
  • 24 Hershey’s Kisses, unwrapped (milk or dark chocolate)
  • 1/2 cup chocolate frosting (store-bought or homemade)
  • Orange sprinkles or jimmies (for hat band)
  • Green sprinkles (optional, for extra color)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Generously spray a 24-cup mini muffin tin with non-stick cooking spray.
  2. In a large bowl, combine brownie mix, egg, oil, and water. Stir until just combined (a few streaks of dry mix are fine).
  3. Fill each mini muffin cup about 2/3 full using a small cookie scoop or teaspoon.
  4. Bake for 10-12 minutes, until edges are set and centers look slightly soft. A toothpick inserted in the center should come out with a few moist crumbs.
  5. Cool in the pan for 5 minutes, then carefully transfer brownie bites to a cooling rack. Cool completely (at least 20 minutes).
  6. Flip each cooled brownie bite over so the flat bottom faces up.
  7. Spoon chocolate frosting into a small piping bag or zip-top bag. Snip a tiny corner (about 1/8 inch wide).
  8. Pipe a small dollop of frosting onto the flat bottom of each brownie bite. Place a Hershey’s Kiss on top (pointy side up) and press gently to secure.
  9. Pipe a small ring of frosting around the base of the kiss (where it meets the brownie). Immediately dip into orange sprinkles or sprinkle by hand. Tap off excess.
  10. Let assembled hats sit for 10-15 minutes to allow frosting to set before serving or moving.

Notes

Don’t overbake the brownies; they should be slightly underdone for a fudgy texture that holds the kiss. Ensure brownies are completely cool before assembling to prevent frosting from melting. Use a light hand with frosting to avoid squishing out the sides. Keep kisses at room temperature for best adhesion. For best results, assemble on the day of serving.
