rainbow and pot of gold tutorial

So on Thursday night, we had a belated St. Patrick's Day get together at our place because my hubby was out of town on business on St. Patrick's Day and little man was sick. Two years ago we started a family tradition of going all green on St. Patrick's Day and I really wanted to still do something even if it was late.

Being that it was one week after St. Patrick's Day, I knew it would be tough to find St. Patrick's Day (how many times can I say St. Patrick's Day in one post?) stuff at the stores so I had to come up with fun ideas on my own. One of the things I made came to me totally on accident and I was so proud of myself for coming up with it! I made some mini brownie bites and used some left over gold cupcake liners for them. Now originally that was all there was going to be of the brownie bites until...I had a ton of this stuff left over from my chocolate covered pretzel rods I made:

I decided to put a little bit of the melted chocolate on top of each of the brownie bites and then sprinkle some rainbow colored sprinkles on top. And then just after that idea I thought, "Oh, it'll be like the rainbow with a pot of gold on the bottom!". I was so excited of my new fun idea and I decided that I would share it all with you! It's so stinkin' easy too!

First, all you have to do it purchase your favorite (or use your favorite recipe) brownie mix and gold colored mini cupcake liners. Bake them according to the box (or your recipe) and let cool. Meanwhile, melt a small bowl of chocolate chips and once the brownie bites are cooled, top each with the melted chocolate.

Then, while the chocolate is still wet, top with rainbow colored sprinkles and TA-DA!

Your rainbow and pot of gold brownie bites! Aren't they so cute?!
