Ingredients
For the Brownie Layer:
- 2 brownie mixes (I like to use Ghirardelli double chocolate)
For the White Chocolate Frosting:
- 8 ounces cream cheese softened
- 1/4 cup butter softened
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla
- 1/2 teaspoon almond extract
- 1 cup white chocolate chips or bark
- 2 cups powdered sugar
- candy canes
Instructions
For the Brownie Layer:
- Prepare boxed brownie mixes according to package instructions (see recipe notes). Bake in a greased 9x13 baking dish for 45-50 minutes. Cool completely before frosting.
For the White Chocolate Frosting:
- Beat together the cream cheese and butter. Add the vanilla and almond extract.
- Melt the white chocolate using the double broiler or in a microwave safe bowl for 30 seconds at a time on 5o% power. Be sure to stir every 30 seconds. Slowly blend it into cream cheese mixture.
- Then, add the powdered sugar and mix until thoroughly blended.
- Spread over the cooled brownies.
- Unwrap some candy canes and place them in a plastic bag. Use a kitchen mallet or rolling pin to crush the candy cane into small pieces.
- Sprinkle the candy cane pieces over the frosting.
Notes
- Mix batter as directed on the box with the eggs and oil, but for the water, use half water and half sour cream. This makes ALL the difference!
- Example: If you need 1/2 cup water for the 2 brownie mixes, use 1/4 cup water 1/4 cup sour cream.
