Ingredients

Brownie Mix

Gold Sprinkles

For Butter Cream Frosting

4 cups of powdered sugar

1 Cup (2 sticks) of Softened butter (we have used both salted and unsalted, but we normally use salted.)

2-3 teaspoons of vanilla

1-2 tablespoons of milk

Green Gel food coloring

 

To begin just follow your brownie recipe. Some brownie packages give you the option for cupcakes and some don’t I went with a regular Wilton 6 Cupcake pan. Most brownie mixes will give you about 12 brownie cupcakes a box. If it doesn’t include instructions I went with 23 minutes at 350degrees for the cupcakes and that worked perfectly.

Make sure and grease the pan well because these guys will get stuck in there and may fall apart when trying to get them out (True story).

Once they’ve cooled down a bit let them finish cooling on a wire rack.

While they’re cooling down go ahead and get the frosting started.

I know that many might opt for store bought frosting but homemade is so easy to make and oh so delicious!

Start off with 2 cups of powdered sugar and add the softened butter. Start mixing until it starts combining.

Then add vanilla and milk then continue adding powdered sugar slowly.

Keep the Milk on hand in case the frosting is too thick you can thin it down a bit.

Add a few drops of the gel food coloring until you get the desired green you like.

And Voila! You’re done!

To get the surprise filling you will cut out a little piece of the middle of the brownie

and fill with sprinkles.

Cover as best you can the hole with the brownie filling you took out.

Finally use a frosting bag (or a plastic bag with the corner cut out) to frost the cupcakes. Adding the golden sprinkles to the top.

This is such a delicious treat  filled with gorgeous gold sprinkles.

These will be the hit of any party or gathering.
