Simple Patriotic Star Brownies
For a fun food craft to make with the kiddos, give this recipe a try. Great for so many holidays and occasions. They taste yummy too. Enjoy!
My son and I love making these star brownies for all the different patriotic holidays, even game day and new years. Made simply with a cake mix and some red, white, and blue candy melts, you have a fun and festive dessert to serve for the holidays. We used a 3 inch star cookie cutter but, you can make these any size or shape for that matter. Go crazy and have fun!
Simple Patriotic Star Brownies
Yields: about 10 star brownies
Ingredients:
- 1 box of brownie mix, any brand, plus brownie mix ingredients
- 12 ounces Wilton Bright White candy melts, found at craft stores like Michael’s or online
- 12 ounces Wilton Red candy melts
- 12 ounces Wilton Royal Blue candy melts
Supplies:
- 3″-3.5″ star shaped cookie cutter (This is the set I purchased, has 3 sizes and worked great)
- aluminium foil
- wax or parchment paper
- 3 Ziploc sandwich bags
- kitchen scissors
- cookie spray
Directions:
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees, line a 9 x 13 baking pan with foil and spray with non-stick cooking spray. Set aside.
- Prepare and bake the brownies according to package directions.
- Remove brownies from oven when finished and let cool completely on a wire rack. This is important to let cool completely.
- Line a large baking sheet/ cookie sheet with parchment or wax paper.
- Once the brownies are cooled, use the star shaped cookie cutter to carefully cut out the brownies and place them on the prepared baking sheet.
- When all the brownies are cut out, place about 1/4 cup of EACH color of candy melts into separate bags.
- Close each bag with the corner slightly open and microwave one at a time for 30 seconds, gently knead the candy into the bag and then heat again for another 15-20 seconds until the candy is melted and smooth.
- Snip the corner of the bag using the kitchen scissors and gently squeeze the chocolate from the baggie over the top of the brownies.
- Allow the chocolate to set and then repeat with the other two candy melt colors. That was fun!
Look how cute these came out!
