Servings 8 or more
Ingredients
- 1 brownie mix prepared according to package directions
- 1 can chocolate frosting
- 1 tube white icing
- Red gel food coloring
- Green M&Ms
Instructions
Bake the Brownies
- Prepare a mini loaf pan by spraying with plenty of non-stick baking spray. If using a square or rectangular pan, line the bottom and sides of the pan with strips of aluminum foil that overhang the tops of the pan so you can lift the baked brownies out of the pan easily to slice. Spray the foil with baking spray or oil.
- Bake your brownies according to the package directions.
- For a mini loaf pan, allow the brownies to cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then carefully unmold them and place on a cooling rack to cool completely. If using a baking pan with aluminum foil overhangs, allow the brownies to cool completely in the pan, then use the foil to transfer the brownies to a cutting board. Slice into identical rectangle shapes.
Decorate the Brownies
- Place some of the chocolate frosting in a piping bag fitted with a small basketweave decorating tip, such as a Wilton #47. Pipe the "wooden" chalkboard frame around the edges of each brownie.
- Place some of the white frosting in a piping bag fitted with a small round tip, such as a Wilton #5. Pipe on the math equations.
- Color a small amount of the white icing with red food gel. Place it in a piping bag with the tip cut off (or in a sandwich bag with a corner cut off) and pipe the apple shapes on the lower right of each "wooden" frame.
- Carefully place 1 green M&M at the top of each "apple" for the leaves.
- Store brownies in an airtight container at room temperature until ready to serve.
