Red Velvet Santa Hat Brownies

By srumbel

The brownies I’m sharing today are totally easy; using a box of Red Velvet cake mix. They are moist, delicious and super cute. My kids got a big kick out of these

Ingredients

• 1 box (15 ounce) Red Velvet Cake mix
• 1 large egg
• 3/4 cup butter, melted
• 1/2 cup water
• 1 cup mini chocolate chips
• White Chocolate Buttercream Frosting
• 4 Tablespoons butter, softened
• 1 1/2 cups powdered sugar
• 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 2 ounces good quality white chocolate (not chips), melted
• 1 Tablespoon heavy whipping cream or milk

Preparation

Step 1

Directions: Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Spray a 9×13 baking pan with non-stick spray. Set aside.

In a large bowl, combine cake mix, egg, melted butter and water. Stir until mixture is thoroughly combined. Stir in chocolate chips. Pour batter into pan and spread out evenly. Bake for 22-25 minutes.

Cool completely before cutting. (After my brownies were cooled I placed them covered in the fridge for 30 minutes for easier cutting)

For frosting:

In a medium bowl beat the butter until fluffy. Gradually add in the powdered sugar until combined. Add the vanilla, melted white chocolate and whipping cream. Continue to beat until very smooth. Pour frosting into a decorating bag fitted with any tip you like.

Cut brownies into triangles to mimic hats. Take one triangle (hat) and pipe frosting on the top and bottom of the ‘hat’.
