Delicious gluten-free, vegan, and paleo-friendly Pine Cone Brownies made with a fudge brownie mix, chocolate chips, and sliced almonds to create a festive pine cone look. Perfect for holiday gatherings!
1: Make your brownie mix according to the instructions, ensuring not to overbake them for a gooey center.
2: Bake the brownie mix and let it cool down for a few minutes.
3: Remove any really crispy parts from the baked brownie mixture and form into about 12 cone shapes.
4: Carefully place the almond slices in and around the brownie cones to resemble pine cone scales.
5: Place the pine cones on a parchment paper lined sheet pan and stick them in the freezer for 30 minutes.
6: Melt the chocolate chips with the coconut oil in a bowl in the microwave in 30-second increments or use a double boiler.
7: Take the pine cones out of the freezer and carefully coat each one with the melted chocolate.
8: Place the chocolate-coated pine cone brownies back on the parchment paper to set.
