1 box (18.3 oz) Immaculate Baking Co.™ Organic Fudge Brownie Mix
Butter, Water, and Eggs: As called for on the brownie mix box.

1/3 cup Vanilla Ready-to-Spread Frosting
3 tablespoons Unsweetened Coconut Flakes

About 4 Orange Jelly Beans: Cut into triangle shapes for carrot noses.

Variations for Snowman Brownies

Peppermint Twist: Add crushed candy canes to the frosting for a holiday-inspired flavor boost.
Snowflake Sparkle: Sprinkle edible glitter or powdered sugar for an extra wintry touch.

Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Prepare the Brownies

Start by preheating your oven according to the brownie mix instructions. Line your baking pan with parchment paper, leaving an overhang for easy removal.

2. Cut the Brownies

Once cooled, carefully lift the brownies out of the pan using the parchment overhang. Use a sharp knife to cut the brownies into squares or rectangles—these will form the base of your snowmen.

3. Frost the Brownies

Spread a thin layer of vanilla frosting over the surface of each brownie. This acts as the “glue” for your snowman decorations and adds a creamy sweetness.

4. Decorate the Snowmen

Let the fun begin! Follow these steps to create your frosty friends:

Coconut Snow: Sprinkle a small amount of unsweetened coconut flakes onto the frosting to resemble freshly fallen snow.
Chocolate Chip Eyes and Buttons: Place two mini chocolate chips near the top of each brownie for the snowman’s eyes and three more in a vertical line for buttons.
Carrot Nose: Use a small knife or scissors to cut orange jelly beans into tiny triangle shapes. Gently press one into the frosting for the nose.

5. Chill and Serve

To help the decorations set, place the brownies in the refrigerator for about 15-20 minutes. Serve them at room temperature and watch as your snowman brownies bring joy to everyone!

Tips for Perfect Snowman Brownies

Chill Before Cutting: For clean, sharp edges, chill the brownies in the fridge for 30 minutes before slicing.
Use a Piping Bag: For more precise frosting application, use a piping bag fitted with a small round tip.
Double the Batch: These brownies disappear quickly! Consider making two pans if serving a crowd.
Let Kids Help: This recipe is an excellent activity for kids. Provide various candies and let them decorate their own snowmen.
