Ingredients:
- 1/2 cup (1 stick / 113g) unsalted butter, melted
- 1 cup (200g) granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup (50g) unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1/4 teaspoon (1.5ml) salt
- 1 teaspoon (5ml) vanilla extract
- 2 large (approx. 100g) eggs
- 1/2 cup (60g) all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup (1 stick / 113g) unsalted butter, softened
- 3 cups (360g) powdered sugar
- 2-3 tablespoons (30-45ml) milk
- 1 teaspoon (5ml) vanilla extract
- Green gel food coloring
- 4 ounces (113g) white chocolate, melted
- Optional: Green sprinkles, mini chocolate footballs
Instructions:
- Combine melted butter, sugar, cocoa powder, and salt in a bowl. Beat until smooth.
- Stir in vanilla extract, then beat in the eggs one at a time.
- Gently fold in the flour until just combined. Do not overmix.
- Pour batter into a parchment-lined 9x13 inch baking pan. Bake at 350°F (175°C) for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted near the center comes out with a few moist crumbs.
- Let brownies cool completely in the pan before frosting.
- Beat softened butter until creamy. Gradually add powdered sugar, alternating with milk, until smooth and fluffy. Stir in vanilla extract.
- Add green gel food coloring a little at a time until desired shade is achieved.
- Spread an even layer of green buttercream frosting over the cooled brownies.
- Melt white chocolate. Transfer to a piping bag fitted with a small round tip (or a Ziploc bag with a tiny corner snipped off). Pipe yard lines, end zones, and a centre circle onto the green frosting.
- Chill the brownies for at least 30 minutes to set the frosting and white chocolate. Cut into bars before serving.
