Toddler Recipes: Brownies
DESCRIPTION
Yummy brownies with a cute shape! Decorate them with your child! Make a batch for that Valentine's Class Party
INGREDIENTS
Box of Duncan Hines (or similar) chewy brownie mix
- -Most require egg, water, and oil
White Frosting
OTHER MATERIALS
Pan
Heart shaped cookie cutter 3.75" is size used in picture.
Food coloring
Small containers to mix food coloring and frosting
Spatula
Betty Crocker Easy Writer Food Decorators
Cutting Board of flat surface to press cookie cutters on
STEPS
- Bake Brownies as directed.
- When cooled, cut into squares a little larger than your cookie cutter. The box I made used a 9 x 9 in pan so
I cut the brownies into fourths and lifted each piece out onto a cutting board.
- Press cutters into brownie. Peel excess brownie away from the cutters and then lift the cutter for best results.
- Decorate with icing using spatula.
- Write your favorite conversation heart saying on each brownie.
TIPS AND SUGGESTIONS
Letting brownies cool before decorating with icing or it will melt and blur.
OTHER IDEAS
Mini Heart Brownies
Using a heart cutter about 2" across and colored frosting. Mixing the food coloring to get purple and orange was a great "lesson".
A cutter any smaller and you lose the heart shape.
Here is a great recipe if you wish to make your brownies from scratch.
