Tips on How to Make This Fun Football Brownie Recipe

Brownies, in general, are easy-peasy and loved by all. The frosting tip does most of the work in this quick football recipe but here are a few tips to make it go smoothly: 

Game Day Football Brownies
  • Use a brownie mix or box brownies if you have them on hand. No one except you will know.
  • Never over-mix a brownie batter – just ask your grandma, she’ll tell you that it’s something she learned from her mom. Incorporate the ingredients until there is no grit and leave it.
  • Turn these into football brownie bites easily by adding these football candy pieces and cutting them small.
  • If you want to learn how to cut brownies into football shapes, just get this cutter (easy) but you can also just bend a biscuit cutter.
  • Make it easy and grab cookie icing for the grass and football laces.
