Equipment

  • 1 9 x 13 Baking Dish
  • 2 Disposable Pastry Bags
  • Coupler set
  • Flat tip See post for details

Ingredients

Brownies:

  • 1 cup Dark Brown Sugar
  • 1 cup Granulated Sugar
  • 1 cup All-purpose flour
  • 1 cup Cocoa powder
  • 1 teaspoon Baking Powder
  • ¼ teaspoon Salt
  • 1 cup Melted Butter cooled
  • 4 Large Eggs beaten
  • 2 teaspoon Vanilla extract

Decoration:

  • ½ cup Butter softened
  • 1 teaspoon Pure Vanilla Extract
  • Pinch Salt
  • 2 cups Confectioners / Icing / Powdered Sugar
  • 1-2 tablespoon Milk
  • Confectionery eyeballs

Instructions

Brownies:

  • Preheat oven to 350°. Prepare 9 x 13 pan with pan spray or shortening, line with parchment paper.
  • In large mixing bowl, combine sugars, flour, cocoa, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
  • In a smaller bowl, whisk together melted butter, eggs, and vanilla extract.
  • Add egg mixture to the flour mixture, stir until dry ingredients are well incorporated.
  • Spread batter into prepared pan, Bake for 30 min. Brownies are done when knife inserted into center comes out just barely clean - but don’t OVER cook them.
  • Let cool completely before proceeding.

Frosting:

  • Whip butter until smooth. Add Vanilla and salt, mix until well incorporated.
  • Slowly add the powdered sugar a little bit at a time, until incorporated completely.
  • Beat on high for 1 minute - mixture will be very, very thick and probably crumbly. Lower mixer speed to lowest setting, and slowly add ½ of the milk. Beat until smooth.
  • Add remaining powdered sugar and remaining milk - alternating - and continue to beat until smooth.
  • Once incorporated, check for consistency. Add more milk or sugar to achieve the consistency you want or need.

Decorating:

  • Fit a large piping bag with a coupler and a flat tip, fill with frosting. Make sure to avoid air pockets as much as possible.
  • Use the parchment paper to carefully lift the slab of brownie out of the pan. Be careful to support it and not allow it to bend / break as your transfer it to a flat cutting surface.
  • Use a sharp knife to cut the brownie slab into 12 pieces - 3 x 4, as shown in the blog entry.
  • Use the flat side of the piping tip to pipe strips of icing across each brownie at random angles, as shown. Affix two confectionery eyes to each brownie.
