Ingredients

- 2 eggs (size 6)
- 100g butter, melted (or Olivani Spread)
- 20ml water (4 tsp)
To Decorate:
- 50g butter, softened (or Olivani Spread)
- 15ml milk (1 Tbsp)
- assortment of toppings, i.e. sprinkles, chocolate fish, mini candy canes, chocolate-covered pretzels etc
Method
Brownie
- Preheat oven to 180ºC bake / 160ºC fan bake. Grease a 20cm square x 5cm deep cake tin and line with baking paper.
- Place brownie mix, eggs, butter and water in a medium mixing bowl. Mix with a wooden spoon until well combined. Spread into prepared tin. Bake for 30-35 minutes, until a skewer inserted into the centre comes out with a few moist crumbs. Allow to cool completely in tin.
To Decorate
- Remove cooled brownie from tin and slice into 9 even squares. Place on a board or in a gift box.
- Place icing mix, butter and milk in a medium mixing bowl. Using an electric mixer, beat on low speed for 30 seconds to combine. Increase speed to high and beat for 3 minutes.
- Ice each brownie square individually and decorate with different toppings.
TIPS
- Can be made ahead of time for a gathering or gift (avoid decorating with items that may soften, i.e. cookies).
