Not Just a Brownie!

Sometimes a brownie is a brownie and sometimes a brownie is a party.  Today it's a party and brownie all in one because it's shaped like a party package.  And covered in chocolate.

What a fun way to wrap a gift...in chocolate, right?

And quite simple if you take the time.

Fill the cute gift shaped silicone baking cup with brownie mix.  Any square silicone mold would also work, I found the gift mold during the Holiday.

 

 

Bake the brownies and freeze until you can easily remove from the cup. 

Place the brownie on a cooling rack and then place the rack over a bowl.

 

Pour chocolate ganache over the brownie until it is completely coated.

 

Remove from rack.

Roll strips of fondant and cut with a no. 2 strip cutter.

 

Separating each strip.

Make the bows by pressing fondant into the bow cavity.

 

Trim the excess with a sharp knife.

 

Remove from mold.

Take one fondant strip and wrap around the brownie, trimming at the top.

 

Then add the fondant bow to the top of the strip.

 

Continue wrapping the gifts with chocolate and fondant.

 

Once wrapped, they're ready to be opened eaten!

Because really, who doesn't love a gift of chocolate?
