Reindeer Brownies
I think I just found the cutest recipe that I could possibly make with my daughter. These Reindeer Brownies are so much fun and absolutely adorable! Plus they are a hit with the friends and neighbors that we made them for! Yay!
Ingredients:
A 9×13 pan of your favorite brownies, baked and cooled
-Baker’s One Bowl Brownies is my go-to homemade brownie recipe. The best part is that you line your pan with foil, so you can remove the block of brownies easily from your 9×13 pan. Remove the foil from the brownies and place the brownies on a cutting board.

Heart Shaped Cookie Cutter
Small Pretzels
Candy Eyeballs – I use Wilton brand
Red plain m&ms – or try using skittles or cinnamon candies
2 tablespoons powdered sugar
1/2 to 1 teaspoon water
Ziplock sandwich bag
Directions:
1- With your cookie cutter, cut hearts out of the brownies. My cutter is just over 2” and you can get at least 18 hearts out of a 9×13 brownie sheet.
2- Break pretzels into antler shapes. Mix it up or make them match, it’s up to you!
3- Place powdered sugar into the corner of a ziplock sandwich bag. Pour water into bag and mix by kneading sugar and water until icing forms. Cut the tip of the bag and pipe the icing onto the back of the eyeballs and m&m nose. Place onto brownie hearts.
If your icing is too runny, you can add more sugar to thicken it. If it is too thick, add more water, a tiny bit at a time to thin it. If neither works, squeeze some icing into a shallow bowl and gently dip the backside of the eyeballs and m&m into the icing and, place on the brownie.
Insert pretzel pieces into the top of the brownie to create antlers.
Place reindeer aside for icing to harden and set.
Makes approximately 18.
