Instructions

Preheat and prepare pan: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a mini muffin pan thoroughly to prevent sticking.
Mix brownie batter: Prepare the brownie batter according to the package instructions, incorporating eggs, oil, and water as specified.
Fill muffin cups: Spoon the brownie batter into the mini muffin cups, filling each about three-quarters full to allow room for rising.
Bake the brownies: Bake in the preheated oven for 12 to 15 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out with moist crumbs, indicating they are fully baked yet moist.
Cool brownies: Let the mini brownies cool in the pan for 5 minutes before carefully removing them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Prepare frosting: In a medium mixing bowl, beat the softened butter, powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract together until the mixture is smooth and fluffy.
Add color: Add green food coloring gradually and mix until you reach the desired shade of green for the frosting.
Frost the brownies: Once the brownie bites are completely cool, pipe or spread the frosting onto each one.
Decorate: Sprinkle green sprinkles or shamrock confetti over the frosted brownies. Add mini gold chocolate coins or other festive decorations if desired for extra holiday flair.
Chill and serve: Optionally chill the frosted bites slightly before serving to set the frosting perfectly.

Notes

Use a piping bag fitted with a star tip for a professional, bakery-style frosting appearance.
These brownie bites can be made a day ahead and stored in an airtight container to maintain freshness.
Customize the frosting color and decorations to suit other holidays or themed parties.
