It’s here! College football has begun, and the NFL season kicks off tomorrow! Are you planning to watch your favorite team with friends? Go tailgating? Relax at home? I thought you might want to sweeten up your football season with brownies. And not just any brownies – Football Brownies! Aren’t they adorable?!
- Bake your favorite batch of brownies. They can be boxed, homemade or store bought.
- Cut the brownies into squares, and cut two corners off the squares to make a hexagon (no cookie cutter needed).
- Frost the brownies with swirls of chocolate frosting, then pipe on vanilla frosting for laces.
- Serve on top of green candies. I use mint M&M’s.

Ingredients
Instructions
With a hand mixer, or a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, beat butter until smooth and creamy. Gradually add the powdered sugar. Once all powdered sugar has been added, beat in 2 tablespoons milk and vanilla. Remove a generous ¼ cup of frosting (to be used for the laces).
To the remaining frosting, add cocoa powder and 1 tablespoon milk. Beat on medium speed for about a minute. Add more milk if needed. The frosting should be smooth and able to hold its shape.
Place chocolate frosting in a piping bag fitted with a small star attachment. Place white frosting in a separate piping bag with the end snipped just enough to create your desired thickness of laces.
Cut the brownies into squares, and then cut off a little bit from two opposite corners to form a hexagon (or you can leave the brownies in a square).
Pipe the chocolate frosting in a zig-zag pattern to form a diamond shape. Pipe white laces onto the chocolate frosting.
Serve on top of green M&M's, if desired.
