dia de los muertos brownie bites

Celebrate Dia de los Muertos with this quick and easy recipe for sugar skull adorned brownie bites.

Dia de los Muertos is a holiday celebrated in Mexico and around the world honoring and remembering those who have passed. Meant to be a time of celebration of the lives of the deceased, gatherings include offerings of prayers, traditional food and drink, sugar skulls, and festive tissue paper decorations. The three-day celebration takes place each year from October 31st to November 2nd and these Dia de los Muertos Brownie Bites couldn’t be any easier to whip up for some last minute celebrations.

You could just as easily bake a single pan of brownies and cut into bite-sized squares, but the Wilton Silicone Brownie Squares Baking Mold makes the most adorable two bite brownies. The clean edges of the molds really make festive decorations pop! The sugar skulls and bones used were also Wilton, but you can usually find a few options at cake decorating stores or online this time of year. Grab your favorite brownie recipe or your favorite box mix (we won’t tell!) and bake a sweet Dia de los Muertos treat.
