So I love brownies. And I love ornaments. And I love Christmas.
So…
These are pretty much the perfect Christmas treat!!! (At least they are in my opinion!)
Make brownies.
Use these cookie cutters below to cut them out.
(And yes, because I know you’re wondering…and perhaps needing permission??? You are 100% supposed to eat the parts of the brownies that don’t get turned into the ornaments…WHILE YOU ARE DECORATING THEM!)
Ok, just needed to be clear on the importance of running that quality control on the actual brownies. 😉
This is the time when I give the icing and gel to the boys and just let them go crazy decorating their own ornaments.
And the tootsie roll? It’s to flatten to make the “top/holder” of the ornament (look for them closely in the top photo up there.)
Ho – ho – ho – Merry Brownie Christmas!
