Okay before we get to the best layered brownie recipe ever, I want to share with you this darling cupcake dome. Guys I’m in love with this newest edition to my cake plate collection and it could not be any more perfect with this sweet little bird on top!
It is exclusively found at Macy’s AND is on major sale right now. It’s not too late friends to get it in time for Christmas so hurry!
So let’s talk brownies. My family are HUGE chocolate lovers and so we definitely make brownies a lot. Natalie posted on Instagram her latest creation and so did Jenny and I had to create them both. . . but together. So here you have the yummiest layered brownie ever! Now I layered mine with oreo cookies but you could really use just about any cookie or dare I say candy bar??! Then I made homemade royal icing and crushed up some candy canes for a sweet topping.
. . . and voila! I made this for the teachers at Lauren’s school this week and I hope they loved it. I know ours at home was gone in less than a day. So here is the recipe for the best layered brownie ever!
