Time: 1 hour 30 minutes
Yield: 9-12 brownies

Ingredients:

  • 1/2 cup melted unsalted butter
  • 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1 cup sugar
  • 2 eggs
  • 2 tsp. vanilla
  • 1/2 cup flour
  • 1/4 tsp. salt

Icing:

  • 1 cup confectioner’s sugar
  • 2-5 tsp. water
  • 2-3 drops food dye
  • festive sprinkles (optional)
  • peeps marshmallows (optional)

Directions:

    1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. and line a 9” x 9” pan with parchment paper. Lightly grease this pan then set aside. 
    2. In a large microwave safe bowl, melt down the butter in 30 second intervals until it is completely melted. 
    3. Add the cocoa powder and whisk until the mixture is nice and smooth.
    4. Whisk in the eggs one at a time mixing between each addition. 
    5. Add in the sugar. The mixture will begin to thicken up. At this point, switch to a silicone spatula to mix the brownie batter. 
    6. Add the vanilla extract and continue to mix. 
    7. Add the flour and salt to the brownie batter and mix until there are no lumps and the batter is nice and smooth. 
    8. Pour the brownie batter into the prepared pan and spread it out evenly using the silicone spatula.
    9. Bake for 20-25 minutes or until the center is no longer jiggly. Youcan also test the doneness by inserting a toothpick in the center of the pan. If the toothpick comes out clean then the brownies are done. 
    10. Take the brownies out of the tray and let them cool completely before slicing. 
    11. Slice the brownies into squares then make the glaze. 
    12.  Combine the water and confectioner’s sugar until the glaze is nice and smooth. Add the food dye color of your choice. 
    13. Spoon about 1 Tbsp. of glaze on top of each brownie. While the glaze is still wet, add some festive colored sprinkles. 
    14. Top the brownies with peep marshmallows and enjoy!
