Tips for Making Perfect Brownie Graduation Caps:

- Use a high-quality cocoa powder for rich chocolate flavor. - Melt the butter and chocolate together slowly and evenly to prevent scorching. - Do not overmix the batter, as this can result in a tough brownie. - Bake the brownies until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with just a few moist crumbs attached. - Allow the brownies to cool completely before frosting them. - Use a piping bag fitted with a small round tip to create the mortarboard design on the brownies. - Decorate the brownies with sprinkles, edible glitter, or other decorations to make them festive.

Conclusion:

Brownie graduation caps are a delicious and creative way to celebrate a graduate's special day. With a little planning and effort, you can create these treats that are sure to impress your guests. Just be sure to follow the tips above for perfect results. Happy baking!
