If you’re looking for a quick party treat that still brings the wow factor, these Bear Paw Brownies are it. No baking required. Just a few store-bought brownies and some clever toppings to turn them into adorable animal paw prints. They’re playful, fun to make, and perfect for themed parties or last-minute dessert ideas.
What makes these brownies worth making is how fast they come together with hardly any mess. You don’t need any piping skills or fancy tools. Just grab some coconut flakes, Oreos, and M&Ms. They look playful and fun, but it’s all about that shortcut magic.
Helpful Tips
- Use white frosting straight from the tub to save time, or soften it slightly so the toppings stick easily.
- If you’re not into coconut, try using white sanding sugar for a similar snowy effect without the texture.
- Oreos work best for the paw pad, and regular M&Ms make the perfect little toes. Just press them in gently so they stay put.
