Number Of Ingredients 14

2 cups of flour
2 cups of packed light brown sugar
2 tsp. of baking powder
1/2 cup of melted unsalted butter - cooled
2 eggs
1 tsp. vanilla
2&1/2 - 3 tsp. of liquid orange food coloring - or an amount that gives you the color of orange that you like
green frosting
piping bag with a star tip attached
Other Equipment Needed
large mixing bowl
non-stick aluminum foil
9 inch round pie pan
Serrated bread knife

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees
  • In mixing bowl, Mix the flour, sugar and baking powder
  • In another bowl mix the melted butter, eggs, and vanilla and orange food coloring
  • Add the wet mixture to the dry and mix well
  • Mix the wet ingredients together
  • The mixture will be like a play dough consistency
  • Line pie plate with foil - non-stick side facing up
  • Pour the mixture into the pie pan and press it out to even it out at the top
  • Bake for about 40-50 minutes.
  • When are they done?
  • These brownies are thick, so they take a bit longer to bake. Once you start to smell the aroma of your brownies, check on them. A toothpick inserted into the middle should come out mostly clean. What I mean by that is; you shouldn't have a wet batter on the toothpick. You will probably find cooked batter will adhere to the toothpick and that's ok

CARROT-SHAPED BROWNIES

An easy Easter treat that's festive and fun? You're in luck with these colorful carrot brownies! Betty Crocker™ fudge brownie mix forms the base, and from there, you're just a couple of steps away from a cute treat that'd tempt any bunny. Use green licorice for your carrot top and Betty Crocker™ Rich & Creamy vanilla frosting tinted with Great Value™ neon orange gel food color (a shortcut from having to mix red and yellow to get just the right tone!).

Time 2h55m

Yield 24

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 box (18.3 oz) Betty Crocker™ fudge brownie mix
Water, vegetable oil and eggs called for on brownie mix box
1 1/4 cups Betty Crocker™ Rich & Creamy vanilla frosting (from 16-oz container)
3/4 teaspoon Great Value™ neon orange gel food color
8 (7-inch) green licorice twists (from two 12.4-oz bags of rainbow-colored licorice twists)
1/4 teaspoon unsweetened baking cocoa, if desired

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 350°F (325°F for dark or nonstick pan). Line 13x9-inch pan with foil, allowing some to hang over sides of pan. Spray bottom and sides of foil with cooking spray. Make brownie batter as directed on box. Spread in pan.
  • Bake 22 to 25 minutes or until toothpick inserted 2 inches from side of pan comes out almost clean. Cool completely on cooling rack, about 1 hour. Freeze in pan 30 minutes.
  • Using foil to lift, remove brownies from pan, and carefully peel foil away. In small bowl, place frosting; stir in food color until blended. Spread frosting over top. For easier cutting, refrigerate 15 minutes to set frosting.
  • Cut brownies into 24 triangles as shown in diagram: Using sharp knife, cut 3 horizontal rows. Cut each row into 8 triangles so each triangle has a 2-inch wide base, cleaning knife with paper towel after each cut. Set aside end pieces for snacking.
  • To make greens for carrot: With sharp knife or scissors, cut each licorice twist into 3 pieces. For each piece, make 2 to 3 cuts lengthwise to make thin green strips, cutting almost to end of piece but not all the way, so it remains attached at one end. Using tip of small paring knife, cut small opening about 1/2-inch deep in short end of each triangle. Insert licorice piece into opening. Repeat with remaining licorice pieces and brownie triangles.
  • If desired, use a small brush to lightly dab cocoa onto top of frosted brownie for an "earthy" carrot look. Store loosely covered in single layer in container.

Time 2h35m

Yield 20

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 box carrot cake mix with pudding in the mix
Water, oil and eggs called for on cake mix box
Green and orange gel food color
1 package (8 oz) cream cheese, softened
1/4 cup butter, softened
2 to 3 teaspoons milk
1 teaspoon vanilla
4 cups powdered sugar

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 350°F (325°F for dark or nonstick pans). Spray 1 (9 x 5-inch) loaf pan with cooking spray. Line bottom of pan with parchment paper. Place paper baking cup in each of 9 regular-size muffin cups.
  • Make cake mix as directed on box using water, oil and eggs. Pour 2 1/2 cups of batter in loaf pan; pour remaining batter evenly into muffin cups. Bake loaf 40 minutes; bake cupcakes 20 minutes. Cool loaf in pan 5 minutes; remove cake from loaf pan and cupcakes to cooling racks. Cool cupcakes and loaf completely, about 1 hour.
  • Using long serrated knife, trim triangle-shaped piece from corners of one end of loaf; reserve pieces. With knife, round corners of other short end of loaf.
  • For the frosting: in large bowl, beat cream cheese, butter, milk and vanilla with electric mixer on low speed until smooth. Gradually beat in powdered sugar, 1 cup at a time, on low speed until frosting is smooth and spreadable. In small bowl, mix 1/2 cup frosting with green color until desired color. In large bowl, mix remaining frosting and orange color until desired color.
  • Bring reserved cut edges together at the bottom of cake to form carrot tip. Hold together with some of the orange frosting. Use remaining orange frosting to frost carrot. Use green frosting to make the carrot top. Use remaining orange and green frosting to create carrots and carrot tops on cupcakes. Serve cupcakes with cake.

Tips:

  • Choose the right carrots. Look for carrots that are about the same size so that the brownies bake evenly. Avoid carrots that are too thick, as they will take longer to bake and may not cook through.
  • Peel the carrots carefully. Use a vegetable peeler to remove the skin from the carrots. Be careful not to cut into the flesh of the carrots.
  • Cut the carrots into even-sized pieces. This will help them cook evenly.
  • Boil the carrots until they are tender. You can also microwave the carrots until they are tender.
  • Mash the carrots until they are smooth. You can use a potato masher or a food processor to mash the carrots.
  • Add the mashed carrots to the brownie batter. Stir until the carrots are evenly distributed.
  • Bake the brownies according to the recipe instructions.
  • Let the brownies cool completely before cutting them. This will help them hold their shape.

Conclusion:

Carrot-shaped brownies are a fun and easy way to enjoy a classic dessert. They are perfect for parties, potlucks, and other special occasions. With a little creativity, you can even decorate the brownies to look like different vegetables or animals. So next time you are looking for a unique and delicious dessert, give carrot-shaped brownies a try.
