Directions

Directions

  • Step one

    BROWNIES: Preheat oven to 350°F. Spray 24-cup mini muffin pan with cooking spray. Stir together brownie mix, 2 eggs, 1/2-cup oil and 1/4-cup water until blended, about 50 strokes. Divide evenly into mini muffin pan. Bake 20 minutes. Cool 10 minutes, remove from pan and cool completely on wire rack.

  • Step two

    STRAWBERRY CAKE: Line 24-cup mini muffin pan with paper liners. Spray 9x13-inch pan with cooking spray. Beat cake mix, 3 eggs, 1 cup water and 1/3-cup vegetable oil in a large bowl with an electric mixer until blended, about 30 seconds. Beat on medium speed 2 minutes.

  • Step three

    Divide half of the cake batter evenly into mini muffin cups, filling about 3/4ths full. Pour remaining batter into 9x13-inch pan. Bake 14 to 17 minutes, until toothpick inserted in centers comes out clean. Cool completely.

  • Step four

    CAKE TRUFFLES: Break cooled 9x13-inch cake into large pieces, place in large bowl and stir in 1/2-cup frosting. Roll into balls, place on waxed paper-lined baking sheet. Freeze until firm, about 30 minutes.

  • Step five

    Pour chocolate chips and 1 teaspoon oil into a large microwave-safe bowl. Microwave 30 seconds. Stir and continue microwaving in 15-second increments until melted; stir until smooth.

  • Step six

    Dip frozen strawberry cake truffles in melted chocolate. Lift with a fork and tap gently to let excess drip off. Place on baking sheet. Decorate with sprinkles. Freeze 10 minutes, until chocolate is set.

  • Step seven

    FRUIT DIP: Stir together 1/3-cup frosting and cream cheese until well blended. Frost mini strawberry cupcakes with remaining vanilla frosting.

  • Step eight

    Build and style dessert charcuterie board with fresh fruit and cream cheese dip, mini brownies, mini cupcakes, cake truffles, candy, kettle corn, pretzels and PEEPS® Marshmallow Chicks and Bunnies. Replenish Easter dessert board as needed.
