Description
Delicious fudgy football-shaped brownies made from a boxed mix, topped with chocolate ganache and white chocolate laces, perfect for game day treats.
Ingredients
- 1 box brownie mix (your favorite brand)
- 1/2 cup oil (vegetable or canola)
- 1/3 cup hot coffee (freshly brewed)
- 1 egg
- 1 cup chocolate chips (for ganache)
- 1/3 cup heavy cream (hot, for the ganache)
- 1/3 cup white chocolate chips (for piping the laces)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F. Line a 9×13-inch pan with parchment paper. Use an 8×8-inch or 9×9-inch pan for thicker brownies.
- In a large bowl, combine the brownie mix, 1/2 cup oil, 1/3 cup hot coffee, and 1 egg. Whisk until just combined and smooth.
- Pour the batter into the prepared pan and bake for about 20 minutes. Check with a toothpick; there should be moist crumbs without raw batter.
- Allow the brownies to cool completely in the pan. Once cooled, use a football-shaped cookie cutter to cut out football shapes.
- If the brownie cutouts are soft, freeze them for 10–15 minutes to firm up.
- To make the ganache, place 1 cup chocolate chips in a bowl; heat 1/3 cup heavy cream until steaming and pour it over the chips. Let sit for 1 minute, then whisk until smooth.
- Dip the tops of each brownie into the ganache and chill until it firms.
- Melt 1/3 cup white chocolate chips and pipe laces onto each brownie. Chill until fully set before serving.
Notes
For thicker brownies, bake the same batter in an 8×8-inch or 9×9-inch pan. Use instant espresso powder dissolved in hot coffee for a stronger flavor.
