Boo Berry Brownie Bites and Scaredy Cat Brownies
This post may contain affiliate links. Read our disclosure policy.
This month, I was asked by General Mills along with several other bloggers to create some fun Halloween Treats using some of General Mills cereals. I had in mind one specific idea. However, it involved finding a box on Boo Berry Cereal. Not an easy task in September. I did manage to wrangle a box from a Target store yesterday. However, the boxes should be hitting the shelves any day now for you to make up some of these Boo Berry Brownie Bites.
I mixed some of the marshmallows from the cereal into the brownie batter. This helped make the brownie even better. It made the brownie more ooey and gooey, two things that a brownie must be. I also baked the brownies in mini muffin tins to get that fun bite size. Finally, I topped off the Boo Berry Brownie Bites with Betty Crocker’s fluffy white frosting along with sprinkles and the boo berry cereal.
I also created a scaredy cat brownie using a regular muffin tin to bake the brownies in. These babies then get a topping with Betty Crocker’s chocolate frosting. You make the cute cat face using some Trix to make the eyes. Then I had Golden Grahams for the ears, pretzel sticks for whiskers, and red frosting for a nose and mouth. I hope these treats help make your Halloween celebrations even more fun.
