Hey y'all, I just made these today, and decided to experiment a little.
I initially used mini candy canes, but actually didn't like how overwhelmingly minty they made these - I kind of felt that you missed the brownie-ness of these yummy bites with all of the crushed up candy canes.
So, I made the following variations... If I had popsicle sticks, I would have used them as well, but I think they are also cute just as balls. Cute metallic cup-cake cases would be cute too, but I only had heart ones, so I didn't bother using them!
Christmas sprinkles, candy cane stick
Fall/Halloween sprinkles, no stick
White chocolate drizzle on dark chocolate
Mocha/hazlenut sprinkle on dark chocolate -YUM!!
Mocha/hazlenut sprinkle on white chocolate - Also yum, and looked really nice too!
I meant to add some almond extract to my chocolate after I did the ones with candy canes, because I used choc chips instead of almond bark, but I forgot to! Oh well, next time!!
Overall I think these are versatile for decorating to suit any occasion or time of year. Adults vs kids, Christmas vs valentines. etc etc.
Anyway, here are a couple pics...
