Yield 16

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 box (17.8 oz) Betty Crocker™ Supreme triple chunk brownie mix
Water, vegetable oil and egg called for on brownie mix box
1 cup Betty Crocker™ Rich & Creamy vanilla frosting (from 16-oz container)
Great Value™ classic green gel food color
16 PEEPS® brand marshmallow chicks
Great Value™ pastel-colored sprinkle mix, as desired

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 350°F (325°F for dark or nonstick pan). Line 9-inch square pan with foil, allowing some to hang over edges of pan. Spray bottom and sides of foil with cooking spray. Make brownie batter as directed on box; spread in pan.
  • Bake 28 to 31 minutes or until toothpick inserted 2 inches from side of pan comes out almost clean. Cool completely, about 1 hour 30 minutes.
  • Using foil to lift, remove brownies from pan, and carefully peel away foil. Transfer brownies to serving platter. In small bowl, mix frosting and food color to desired color. Transfer frosting to decorating bag fitted with grass piping tip; pipe onto brownies.
  • Using photo as a guide, top with 5 PEEPS® chicks, spacing randomly across top. Add sprinkles and candies.
  • To serve, cut brownies into 4 rows by 4 rows; add remaining PEEPS® chicks so each brownie has a chick. Store loosely covered at room temperature.
