⭐Why This Recipe Works
This football brownies recipe may look complicated to create, but I can assure you it is easy. Besides the prepared brownie mix and frosting you only need candy melts to make these. The creamy texture of the brownies and frosting encased in chocolate makes these a winner for the big game.
🥣Ingredient Notes
- Chocolate Fudge Brownie mix - prepared and baked according to package directions
- Chocolate Fudge Frosting - makes the brownies deliciously moist
- Vanilla Frosting - for the laces on the footballs
- Chocolate Candy Melts - used for coating the brownies
📋Step by Step Instructions
STEP 1: Bake the brownies in the oven according to the directions on the package, using the eggs, oil, and water.
STEP 2: Allow to cool and crumble the cooled brownies into a large bowl.
STEP 3: Add the chocolate frosting and mix until thoroughly blended.
STEP 4: Use your hands to form the dough into small football shaped brownies.
STEP 5: Place on a parchment-lined baking pan and freeze for 1 hour.
STEP 6: Remove from freezer and allow to rest for 10 minutes.
STEP 7: Melt 1 cup of candy melts according to package directions and dip the footballs into the chocolate, turning to coat both sides. You can use a fork to turn over the footballs and remove them from the chocolate.
STEP 8: Shake off the excess chocolate and place on parchment so the chocolate can harden.
STEP 9: Repeat the process with another cup of melted candy melts until all of the footballs have been covered.
STEP 10: Place ½ cup of Vanilla Frosting in a small zip-top bag or a piping bag. Cut a tiny triangle off the bottom corner of the bag and use the bag to pipe frosting white laces on the footballs.
