Gone Fishin' Brownie Bites

 

Ingredients:

1 box Fudge Brownie Mix

⅔ cup oil

¼ cup water

2 eggs

1 container Pillsbury Funfetti Aqua Blue Vanilla Frosting (with fish sprinkles)

36 pretzel sticks

1 piece fruit leather

36 gummy fish

Directions:

Stir brownie mix, oil, water and eggs for 50 strokes with a spoon. Pour about one tablespoon of batter into greased mini muffin cups (about 36). Bake at 350° for 20-22 minutes. Remove from the oven and use the back of a teaspoon to make an indent in the top of each brownie bite.

Allow them to cool completely before removing from the pan. A couple tips for removal from a mini muffin pan, place them in the freezer for 15 minutes before removing them and use a thin, sharp knife to cut around the brownie bites to make them easier to remove. Scoop a cup of frosting into a microwave-safe measuring bowl with a spout for pouring. Melt the frosting in the microwave for 15 seconds, stir and repeat until smooth. Fill each of the brownie bites with melted blue frosting.

Top with fish shaped sprinkles and insert a gummy fish into the frosting once it has set.

Cut narrow strips of the fruit leather and wrap them around pretzel sticks. Insert the pretzel fishing rods pushing them gently through the frosting into the brownie bite.
