Shamrock Brownies
Now I used a box mix to make these brownies. But if you are a fan of homemade brownies go right ahead! I used a Shamrock Cookie Cutter I picked up from Amazon.
It worked great and they were the perfect size brownies to serve up the family. These are also a fun treat for school parties, gifting to co-workers or neighbors, and more.
What Chocolate To Use To Drizzle Over Brownies
Candy melts are what I reached for. You will find that you can’t color white chocolate chips, so buying candy melts is important. I picked up some darker green candy melts like these.
Now you are welcome to use yellow and green for a gold and yellow take, or add in green and white. Get creative and choose whatever you want.
