How cute are these brownies?! An easy treat that you can make with your family and enjoy or bring to a party. You can make the brownies from scratch or buy a box of brownie mix. We always have an emergency box for unexpected guests or baked goods promised and you hear about it the night before. Hint: It doesn’t go away, just isn’t always baked goods. Emergency craft supply is also a good idea.

If you are looking for a yummy tasting boxed brownie mix, because you are short on time or perhaps you are just no Martha Stewart then check out my all-time favourite Brownie box mix.
I hold no judgement for anyone who uses boxed mixes. It’s not how you made the brownie, the journey is not important, What matters is the end goal. Which is just eating it.
We are not a huge dessert eating family but it’s fun to make something with my young kids who do love treats. These fit the mark. The recipe was easy. The brownies are a tasty but not great. Personally, I feel like the chocolate chips are a bit overpowering – you could reduce a to 1/2 cup. I baked for 35 min and they were a bit overcooked so watch carefully. I had to cut the edge off to be able to make a hole for the candy cane ‘trunk’. Overall for a quick fun dessert this gets a thumbs up.
