Pro Tips

  • Prepare Baking Dish – Prepare the baking dish by lining with parchment paper or cooking spray. This helps for an easy cleanup and for serving.
  • Combining Ingredients – Combine ingredients with electric mixer in a large bowl until fully combined.
  • Baking Brownies – Bake brownies until baked and toothpick comes out clean. Make sure to not overbake as brownies will finish cooking out of the oven.
  • Allow to cool. Let the brownies cool before decorating or the icing will slide off.
  • Cutting into football shapes. The best way to cut brownies into a football shape is with a cookie cutter. Another option is to freehand the football shape into the brownies with a knife. They do not have to be the perfect shape.
