Instructions
- To Prep: Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line an 8-inch square baking pan with parchment paper.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine hot melted butter with the chocolate chips, stirring together until the chocolate is completely melted and smooth.
- Add the sugar and eggs, whisking together until well combined.
- Stir in a couple drops of green food coloring, vanilla extract, and vinegar.
- Add the flour, baking powder, and salt, mixing until just combined.
- Pour the brownie batter into the prepared pan and spread evenly.
- Bake for 45-50 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out with only a few moist crumbs. Allow brownies to cool completely before frosting.
Frosting Directions
- In the bowl of a stand mixer (or in a large mixing bowl with an electric hand mixer), beat together softened cream cheese and butter until smooth and creamy.
- Add the powdered sugar, salt, and vanilla extract, mixing until well combined and fluffy.
- Spread the frosting evenly over the cooled brownies.
- Top with green sprinkles.

- Prep Tips:
- Yield - This will depend on how large or small you cut the brownies. If cutting into equal portions, you will get either 9 or 16 squares (either 3 rows of 3 or 4 rows of 4)
- Food Coloring - You can use your favorite type of food coloring for this recipe. If you want to avoid artificial dyes, this is a good plant-based food coloring option. I recommend starting with a few drops, stirring, and seeing how the batter looks before adding more. You can always add more food coloring, but if you add too much, you can't take it away.
- Storage - Once frosted, the brownies will need to be refrigerated, as the icing contains cream cheese (dairy). They should keep for 3-4 days in an airtight container in the fridge.
