    St. Patrick’s Day Brownies

    We will use pretty much any excuse to make brownies in our house. Carrigan loves them and even knows exactly how to make them! Once she’s old enough to use the oven on her own, she’s going to be making brownies all the time!

    One of our favorite excuses for making brownies is Game Day. My kids loved learning how to make football brownies and want to make them every weekend during football season!

    With a few basic ingredients and some candy, you can really turn your basic box mix brownies into something cute for almost any occasion!

    How to Make Easy Mint Brownies with Shamrocks

    1. Heat the oven to 350F and spray a 9×12 pan with non-stick cooking spray.
    2. In a large bowl, mix together the brownie mix, eggs, water, and oil. Stir until well mixed.
    3. Spread brownie mix into the pan and bake for 22-25 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the middle comes out clean.
    4. Allow brownies to cool completely.
    5. Then cut into squares or rectangles. This preference is entirely up to you. You just want to have enough space to decorate each brownie!
    6. Use the cookie frosting to “glue” three pieces of candy in a triangle shape. If your brownies are large, you might be able to make four leaf clovers instead of three leaves!
    7. Then use the frosting to draw a stem on your shamrock.

    Then enjoy your St. Patrick’s Day brownies with a big glass of milk! (That’s our favorite pairing when it comes to brownies!)

      These look tasty, and so easy, I may have to make some for my husbands birthday (which just happens to be St. Patrick’s Day). Thanks for the great idea, I love it!

      I have the same problem when cooking desserts that you do. If it involves any candy, especially m&m’s, I eat half of them before I can even add them in to the recipe.
