Pot of Gold Brownie Bowls are the perfect dessert for St. Patrick’s Day. The brownie bowls are filled with pudding. Then topped with gold sprinkles and M&Ms.
To celebrate St. Patrick’s Day last year, I made a bunch of rainbow fruit themed food: fruit pizza, yogurt parfait and fruit tray with dip. This year, I wanted to make something to go along with the previous year’s rainbow theme. I decided to make what is found at the end of the rainbow: Pot of Gold Brownie Bowls. I received a bake-a-bowl pan a few years ago and I have used it a bunch of times. You may remember my Chocolate Pudding Brownie Bowls aka pigs in mud puddles for my daughter’s farm themed birthday party. I knew a brownie bowl would be perfect for creating the pot for the gold. Then I used vanilla pudding to fill the bowl and covered it with gold sprinkles. Then I placed yellow M&M’s on top for the gold coins. The Pot of Gold Brownie Bowls came out so cute and they will be the perfect dessert on St. Patrick’s Day.
