Santa Hat Brownies
Make these quick and easy Santa hat brownies for Christmas, using simple ingredients! This is a fun dessert or snack to make with kids during the holidays.
Yesterday morning, I woke up with an idea in my head…Santa hat brownies!
However, I was out of flour and didn’t feel like going out to the grocery store in the cold.
So, I used box brownies.
I am NOT sure why people start bashing other people for using boxed mixes.
I mean I like baking and making recipes from scratch but I am NOT ashamed to use boxed mixes either.
Anyways, when these brownies cooled down, I cut out triangle shapes and decorated them with fondant and sprinkles.
If you enjoy piping, you can use royal icing or buttercream icing too.
I think you can also make grinch hat brownies, if you used green fondant.
Maybe that can be something I try next year.
To make these Santa hat brownies, you will need the following SUPPLIES:
Brownies (baked in a rectangular pan)
Square cutter
Knife
Paintbrush
Red marshmallow fondant
Sparkling sugar
Corn syrup
White snowflake sprinkles
Sprinkle balls or Sixlets
Note:
If you don’t want to use fondant, you can just use red American buttercream frosting.
These are the INSTRUCTIONS:
Step 1:
Use a square cutter to cut out square pieces of brownies.
Step 2:
Use a knife to cut the sides and give your brownie a triangular shape.
Make sure one side is more slanted than the other.
Flip it over coz we will be working on the back side.
Step 3:
Brush some corn syrup on the back side.
You can use buttercream icing if you like.
Step 4:
Now, roll out some red fondant.
Place the brownie piece here until it sticks into place.
Step 5:
Use a sharp knife to cut the fondant around the brownie.
Flip it over again and you will end up with smooth fondant covering on your brownie.
Step 6:
Brush some corn syrup near the base of the triangle and sprinkle some sparkling sugar.
Step 7:
Brush some corn syrup on top of the sparkling sugar and stick some snowflake sprinkles here.
Step 8:
Brush some corn syrup on the very top and stick a big round sprinkle or sixlet here.
Well, that’s all for today.
Until next time, tata my lovelies!
Those brownies saved the day! I ALWAYS run out of flour!! Or sugar. Haha!
