- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- ½ cup unsalted butter, melted
- ⅓ cup cocoa powder

Step 1: Prepare the Brownie BatterStart by setting the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line your baking pan with parchment paper.In a large mixing bowl, whisk together flour, cocoa powder, and baking powder.In a separate bowl, mix the melted butter and sugar until smooth. One at a time, add the eggs, mixing thoroughly after each addition. Stir in vanilla extract.Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture, stirring just until combined
Step 2: Bake the BrowniesSpread the batter evenly in the baking pan, then bake for 20-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center shows a few moist crumbs. Let cool completely before cutting.
Step 3: Cut into BitesOnce the brownies are cool, cut them into small, bite-sized squares or circles.For a uniform gnome shape, use a round cookie cutter or simply slice into squares.
Step 4: Make the Gnome HatsRoll out red fondant and cut small triangle shapes for hats. Gently press onto each brownie piece, positioning it to resemble a gnome’s pointed hat.
Step 5: Add Gnome Faces and Beards , Place mini chocolate chips or edible eyes just below the hats for gnome eyes.For the beard, attach a small amount of shredded coconut or white chocolate shavings below the eyes.
