Patriotic Flag Brownies

Level up your next patriotic holiday get together with these simple, decorated flag-shaped brownies!

Love me some brownies and I really love making them all festive and such – this time with some frosting and red-white-blue M&Ms!

You don’t have to be a super cake decorator to pull this off either…

And if you’d like to make homemade brownies instead of a box mix, this is my all-time favorite Homemade One-Bowl Mocha Brownies recipe. <<< It’s really the best homemade brownie recipe ever!

Here’s how to make these Patriotic Flag Brownies…

Bake the brownies and cut using the rectangular cutting.

If you don’t have a rectangular shaped cookie cutter, you could use a well-greased knife. Greasing the knife will help keep the gooey-ness from sticking to the knife and make a cleaner cut on the brownie.

Add white frosting to the top of the browning.

Place the blue M&Ms, using a toothpick or skewer to get them into the right place.

Add the red and white M&Ms to make a flag.

Set out and enjoy!

Here’s to a fun, festive and delicious patriotic dessert!

Gently squeeze the icing from the bottle and carefully outline the brownie.
Then, fill in the icing and use a toothpick to help smooth it out.
