Notes
- Don’t overmix the batter—just stir until everything’s combined to keep those brownies nice and fudgy.
- Wait until the brownies are completely cool before frosting, or the frosting will end up melting.
- When adding food coloring, start with a couple of drops and add more slowly until you hit the perfect green.
- Line your baking dish with parchment paper for super easy clean-up and brownie removal.
