Ingredients

  • 1 9x13 inch pan of prepared and cooled brownies (box made or homemade recipes)
  • 2 cups powdered sugar
  • 3-4 tbsp milk
  • 7 Mini Reese's
  • 28 candy eyeballs
  • 14 orange sprinkles
  • 28 M&Ms buttons
  • 14 pretzel sticks

Instructions

  • With a sharp knife, slice the pan of brownies in half lengthwise. Take each half and cut it into 7 even triangles. Discard or save the uneven end pieces for snacking.
  • Place the brownie triangles in a single layer on a tray or baking sheet to make decorating easier.
  • Cut each Mini Reese’s Cup in half to create the snowmen’s hats. Break the pretzel sticks in half for the arms and set aside.
  • In a small bowl, stir together the powdered sugar and milk until you have a thick icing. It should be spreadable but not runny - if it’s too thin, add a little more sugar.
  • Work on 3 brownies at a time so the icing doesn’t harden before decorating. Spoon a small amount of icing onto the center of a brownie. Gently spread it downward and outward – slightly rounded, then upward (to form a snowman shape), leaving a small border around the edges.
  • Place a Reese’s Cup half at the top of the icing to form a hat.
  • Add two candy eyeballs just below the hat, then position an orange sprinkle underneath as the nose.
  • Press two M&Ms of the same color down the center of the snowman for buttons.
  • Finish by adding a pretzel half on each side for arms. Repeat with remaining brownies until all snowmen are decorated.
  • Serve and enjoy!
