Instructions

Use a sharp knife to cut the pan of brownies in half lengthwise, then cut each smaller section into 7 triangles. The ends will not be used.

Arrange the brownie triangles on a tray or baking sheet.

Cut the Reese’s Cups in half. Break the pretzels in half.

Mix the powdered sugar and milk together to form a thick icing. You need it not to be too thin or it will spread over the sides of the brownies.

Working in batches of 3, so the icing doesn’t harden before you can decorate, Drop a little onto the center of the brownie, and use the spoon to work it down and out – slightly rounded, then up. You want to not quite touch the edges.

Now add a half Reese’s Cup towards the top for the hat, then two candy eyeballs underneath. Drop an orange sprinkle between and slightly under the eyes.

Arrange two of the same color M&Ms down the middle for the buttons.

Arrange two pretzel halves on either side of the “snowman”.

Tips & Tricks (5)

Brownie Base Perfection 🍫
Use a box mix for consistent texture, but add an extra egg and replace water with milk for a richer, more moist brownie base that holds its shape better.
Snowman Assembly Technique 🧊
Cut brownies into circles using a round cookie cutter or glass rim to create perfectly shaped snowman bases, ensuring uniform appearance and easier decoration.
Frosting Hack 🥄
Mix powdered sugar with just enough milk to create a thick, spreadable frosting that acts as 'glue' for attaching decorations and provides a smooth, snow-like finish.
Precision Decorating 🎨
Use tweezers or a toothpick for precise placement of small decorations like candy eyes and M&Ms, ensuring a professional and neat final presentation.
Structural Support 🏗️
Use a mini Reese's Cup as a sturdy base for the snowman, providing stability and an extra layer of delicious flavor to your holiday treat.
