Carrot Patch Brownies Recipe 465

Steps:

• Heat oven to 350°F (325°F for dark or nonstick pan). Line 13x9-inch pan with foil, allowing some to hang over sides of pan. Spray bottom and sides of foil with cooking spray. Make brownie batter as directed on box. Spread in pan.
• Bake 22 to 25 minutes or until toothpick inserted 2 inches from side of pan comes out almost clean. Cool completely on cooling rack, about 1 hour. Freeze in pan 30 minutes.
• Using foil to lift, remove brownies from pan, and carefully peel foil away. In small bowl, place frosting; stir in food color until blended. Spread frosting over top. For easier cutting, refrigerate 15 minutes to set frosting.
• Cut brownies into 24 triangles as shown in diagram: Using sharp knife, cut 3 horizontal rows. Cut each row into 8 triangles so each triangle has a 2-inch wide base, cleaning knife with paper towel after each cut. Set aside end pieces for snacking.
• To make greens for carrot: With sharp knife or scissors, cut each licorice twist into 3 pieces. For each piece, make 2 to 3 cuts lengthwise to make thin green strips, cutting almost to end of piece but not all the way, so it remains attached at one end. Using tip of small paring knife, cut small opening about 1/2-inch deep in short end of each triangle. Insert licorice piece into opening. Repeat with remaining licorice pieces and brownie triangles.
• If desired, use a small brush to lightly dab cocoa onto top of frosted brownie for an "earthy" carrot look. Store loosely covered in single layer in container.

Steps:

• 1Preheat oven to 350° and spray the inside of a 9"-x-13" baking pan with cooking spray. Line pan with parchment paper and spray parchment paper with cooking spray. 2Prepare brownie batter according to package instructions. Pour batter into prepared pan and bake until a toothpick has moist crumbs, 28 to 30 minutes, then let cool. 3Make orange frosting: In a small, deep bowl, microwave white chocolate chips on high for one minute, stirring every 20 seconds to remove clumps. Add coconut oil and orange food coloring, then mix until combined. 4Make carrots: Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper. Pierce each strawberry with a skewer and dunk the strawberries in melted orange chocolate, repeating to coat, if necessary. Place on lined baking sheet and refrigerate until set, 15 minutes. 5Make carrot patch: Remove cooled brownies and frost with chocolate frosting, then top with crushed Oreos. Top brownies with strawberries and garnish with Robin Eggs. Slice into squares and serve.
