Ingredients
  

For the Brownies
  • 1 can Cooking Spray Prevents sticking to the pan; a non-stick spray or light oil works wonders!
  • 15.25 oz Brownie Mix The base of the brownies, quick to prepare as per the box instructions
  • 170 g Chopped Dark Chocolate 60-70% cacao enhances the chocolate flavor; semi-sweet chocolate makes a great substitute
For the Frosting
  • 1/2 cup Heavy Cream Adds richness and smoothness; swap with coconut cream for a delightful dairy-free option
  • 1 cup Confectioners’ Sugar Sweetens and thickens your frosting; try using powdered erythritol for a lower-sugar variant
  • 1 Tbsp Whole Milk Adjusts the frosting's consistency; almond milk is a perfect dairy-free alternative
  • 1/2 tsp Corn Syrup Gives your icing a beautiful gloss; optional
  • 1/2 tsp Pure Vanilla Extract Elevates flavor; no substitutions are necessary
  • White Gel Food Coloring Perfect for creating stunning decorative frosting; optional
