Frugal Recipe: LEGO Brownies

My son Drew just turned 8 on Sunday. I surely don’t know where the time has gone! As with all boys his age, he just loves LEGOS. :D He wanted to take a fun dessert into school to share with his classmates. I was thinking of a fun way to incorporate his love of LEGOS and brownies and I came up with LEGO Brownies! 

Not only are these super easy to make, but they are a real crowd pleaser as well. Drew said that his classmates kept talking about them over and over! 

INGREDIENTS:

1 can of Vanilla Frosting

1 bag of plain M&M’s

1 box of regular brownie mix 

all ingredients that your brownie mix calls for

1 box of assorted food coloring

 

DIRECTIONS:

Bake the brownie mix as directed on the box. 

Let brownies cool.  In the meantime, divide the vanilla frosting into 4 separate bowls. Color the frosting red, green, yellow and blue with the food coloring. You can adjust the colors to your liking, but I like them to be vibrant.

After the brownies have cooled, cut into 15-16 assorted sizes of squares. (think different Lego Shapes)

Ice the brownies with your Food colored icing. 

Place M&M’s on top of the brownies in LEGO fashion. Make sure to place the M&M’s “M” side down.

Enjoy! This would be SO cute and inexpensive for a LEGO-themed birthday party! :D
