For chocolate lovers like myself, fewer desserts are better than rich, fudgy brownies (the crispy corners are the best part!). They’re the perfect treat for a bake sale, a barbecue or even a girls’ night at home. You can add ice cream, chocolate chips or frosting, and if you want that fresh-out-of-the-oven experience, pop it in the microwave for a bit. This chocolatey treat can also be festive, which is exactly what we did with our Brownie Flags Recipe.
To give this classic dessert a twist, we added powdered sugar, frosting and blueberries. This recipe is also homemade — it’s easier than you think — but you can always used a box mix if you’re in a pinch. Whichever method you choose, you can make your brownies into flags by dusting powder sugar on top, piping frosting stripes and decorating with blueberries in the corner. We recommend cutting the brownies first before decorating.
