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:

  1. Combine melted butter, sugar, cocoa powder, and salt in a bowl. Beat until smooth.
  2. Stir in vanilla extract, then beat in the eggs one at a time.
  3. Gently fold in the flour until just combined. Do not overmix.
  4. 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.
  5. Let brownies cool completely in the pan before frosting.
  6. Beat softened butter until creamy. Gradually add powdered sugar, alternating with milk, until smooth and fluffy. Stir in vanilla extract.
  7. Add green gel food coloring a little at a time until desired shade is achieved.
  8. Spread an even layer of green buttercream frosting over the cooled brownies.
  9. 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.
  10. Chill the brownies for at least 30 minutes to set the frosting and white chocolate. Cut into bars before serving.
