Here is a great dessert for a large family, like ours! This was Adam's (age 4) birthday dessert this year. The made-from-scratch icing really makes this easy dessert extra special.
Brownies:
3 boxed brownie mixes (9x13 size ea.)
Lightly grease a 12x18in. sheet pan (i know that might be a harder-to-find size- but if you have a large family, it is a great pan and would be worth the purchase..find it here)
Prepare and bake brownies according to package directions
Allow to cool completely
Chocolate Butter Cream Icing:
1 stick margarine, softened to room temperature
1/4 cup milk
1/4 tsp. salt
1 tsp. vanilla
1 pound (about 4 cups) confectioners sugar
6-8 T. cocoa
2 T. margarine, softened
Dash of salt
Milk
Place 1 stick margarine, 1/4 c. milk, 1/4 tsp.salt, and vanilla in a large mixing bowl. Cover with about 2 cups of sugar. Begin mixing slowly- add the other 2 cups of sugar and slowly mix until sugar is moistened. Increase mixing speed and mix until blended and fluffy.
In a small bowl, mix the cocoa, 2 T. margarine, and dash of salt. Add this to the prepared butter cream mixture and mix well. Add milk a Tablespoon at a time until frosting reaches spreading consistency (approx. 1 or 2 Tbs.)
Spread over cool brownies
Topping:
1 large bag of M&Ms
Immediately after icing the brownies, sprinkle with your choice of M&Ms.
Serves approx: 30 people
