Description
These Christmas Present Brownies are a festive, fudgy treat wrapped in holiday cheer—literally. Rich chocolate brownies get dressed up with a layer of colorful frosting and a ribbon of icing to mimic little wrapped gifts. Whether you’re baking for a party, cookie exchange, or just spreading some cheer at home, these brownies are as fun to decorate as they are to eat.
Ingredients
1 box brownie mix (plus eggs, oil, and water as directed)
1/2 cup chocolate chips (optional, for extra fudginess)
Store-bought or homemade buttercream frosting
Food coloring (red, green, white)
Piping bags or zip-top bags for decorating
Sprinkles, mini candy canes, or edible glitter (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat oven according to brownie package instructions. Prepare and bake brownies in a parchment-lined 9×13″ pan. Let cool completely.
Once cooled, lift brownies from the pan and cut into squares or rectangles.
Divide frosting into bowls and tint with food coloring. Spread a layer of colored frosting on each brownie to create the “gift wrap.”
Use white (or contrasting color) frosting in a piping bag to draw ribbons and bows on each “present.”
Decorate with sprinkles or festive candies for extra charm.
