Instructions
- Prepare Brownie Batter: Make a double batch of the Best Ever Chewy Brownies by doubling all ingredients from the original recipe to ensure enough batter for a 9×13-inch pan.
- Line Baking Pan: Line a 9 by 13-inch metal baking pan with parchment paper or aluminum foil to prevent sticking and allow easy removal of the brownies.
- Bake Brownies: Pour the batter evenly into the lined pan and bake according to the original recipe instructions until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out with moist crumbs attached.
- Cool Brownies: Allow the brownies to cool completely in the pan to ensure frosting adheres properly.
- Prepare Buttercream Frosting: Make one batch of the Best Ever Buttercream Frosting. Divide the frosting into separate bowls and tint each with gel food coloring as desired to create festive colors.
- Decorate Brownies: Once the brownies are fully cooled, spread the colored buttercream frosting evenly on top. Use sprinkles, mini M&Ms, mini chocolate chips, and other edible decorations creatively to form festive Christmas shapes and designs.
- Serve and Enjoy: Cut the brownies into desired shapes or squares and serve as a cheerful holiday treat.
Notes
- Use gel food coloring for vibrant frosting colors without altering texture.
- Allow brownies to cool completely before frosting to prevent melting.
- Customize decorations to match your holiday theme.
- Storing brownies in an airtight container keeps them fresh for up to 3 days.
- For easier cutting of shapes, gently freeze brownies for 20 minutes before decorating.
