Brownies are every cook's best friend. They are an easy dessert to make from scratch and even easier with a mix. And the mixes actually taste great. But sometimes, you want to fancy things up a bit. You can decorate brownies the same way you embellish cupcakes or cookies. Your family and guests will be so impressed. Read on to learn decorate brownies.
Instructions
1. Line a 9 x 13 baking pan with aluminum foil and spray with a vegetable or canola oil spray. Cooking magazines use this trick all the time to show off perfectly shaped brownies. Just let a little of the foil hang off the ends to use as a lifter.
2. Bake a 9 x 13 pan of brownies, using your own recipe or a mix from the grocery store. You can doctor a brownie mix by adding in chocolate syrup, chocolate chips, nuts or candies.
3. Cool the brownies for about 15 minutes. Using the ends of the aluminum foil, lift the entire sheet of baked brownies out of the pan. Cool completely.
4. Cut the brownies into shapes using cookie cutters. You can use a biscuit cutter for round brownies.
5. Spread your favorite canned frosting over the tops of the brownies. Make a smooth layer.
6. Write names or draw pictures using a writing pack of frosting found at the grocery. You can also fill a pastry bag with frosting, and pipe on stars, squiggles or anything you want.
7. Chill the decorated brownies in the refrigerator for about 30 minutes to set the frosting. Enjoy.
