Ho Ho Ho! Santa’s little helpers are coming to town, and we've got the best treat for them with these reindeer brownies. Rich and decadent, these smooth brownies are decorated with frosting, and the cutest reindeer faces.
PREP TIME: 10 minutes
COOK TIME: 20 minutes
TOTAL TIME: 1 hour
SERVINGS: 18
Ingredients:
- 1 Brownie Mix Package
- ½ cup Vegetable Oil
- 2 Eggs
- ⅔ cup Chocolate Frosting
- 1 Candy Eyes, Single Packet
- 9 Brown M&M Candies
- 9 Red M&M Candies
- 36 Mini Pretzel Twists
Instructions:
-
Prepare the brownies according to the directions on the box. Be sure to use a 9×13 baking pan.
-
Once brownies are baked, allow the brownies to completely cool before cutting into the triangles.
-
Carefully transfer the brownies from the pan to a large cutting board.
-
Evenly cut the brownies into 3 equal horizontal sections.
-
Cut 4 diagonal sections to make a diamond pattern.
-
Then cut the diamonds in half. This should give you 18 full-shaped triangles.
-
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
-
Transfer the triangles to the prepared baking sheet.
-
Using an offset spatula, neatly ice the halved diamonds.
-
Place an M&M at the bottom of one of the triangle ends for the nose.
-
Place 2 of the candy eyeballs in the center of the triangle.
-
Then place 1 pretzel “antler” on the remaining 2 triangle points.
-
Another option is to use a heart-shaped cookie cutter. Beginning on the top edge of the brownies, and working toward the opposite end, cut out the hearts.
-
Carefully frost the heart-shaped brownies with the chocolate frosting.
-
Just above the point of the heart, place the brown or red M&M for the nose
-
Place the eyes in the center of the heart.
-
Just before serving, place the antlers.
