Ingredients
Scale
Brownie Base
- 1 box brownie mix (use your favorite brand)
- Cooking spray (for muffin tin)
Toppings
- 2 cups whipped cream (fresh or store-bought)
- 1 cup rainbow candy belts
- 1 tablespoon gold sanding sugar (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat and Prepare: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Spray a muffin tin with cooking spray or line it with parchment paper to prevent sticking.
- Mix Brownie Batter: In a bowl, mix the box brownie mix following the package instructions until the batter is smooth and well combined.
- Fill Muffin Cups: Pour the batter into the prepared muffin tin, filling each cup about 2/3 full to allow room for rising.
- Bake Brownies: Bake for approximately 20 minutes or until a toothpick inserted comes out with a few moist crumbs. Avoid overbaking to keep the brownies fudgy.
- Cool Brownies: Allow the brownies to cool in the pan for a few minutes, then carefully remove them and place on a wire rack to cool completely.
- Decorate: Once cooled, top each brownie with a generous dollop of whipped cream. Garnish with rainbow candy belts arranged creatively on top and sprinkle with gold sanding sugar for sparkle.
Notes
- Ensure brownies are fully cooled before adding whipped cream to prevent melting.
- You can substitute whipped cream with a dairy-free alternative if desired.
- Gold sanding sugar is optional but adds a festive sparkle to the treats.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
- Use fresh rainbow candy belts for the best texture and flavor.
