Celebration Brownies

Celebration Brownies are perfect as a sub for birthday cake for anyone who favors brownies over cake. A dense, fudgy brownie is covered in a delicious buttercream and sprinkles.

Brownies are my jam. I love them more than anything. Especially if there is a frosting involved. Typically I make a chocolate frosting for brownies, but this buttercream frosting that is like the frosting you would frost a birthday cake with, is so good on these brownies. It’s light and fluffy and such a great contrast to the dense, fudgy brownie.

To make them look festive and celebratory, add some sprinkles on top. The more the better. 🙂

Recipe Tips

Be sure to melt the chocolate over low heat and use a saucepan with a heavy bottom. Chocolate melts very easily.

I use salted butter for this recipe. If using unsalted, and a few pinches of salt to the batter.
