How to make owl brownies

These owl brownies are super easy to make and kids will love decorating their owls. Consider using pre made cupcakes instead of brownies if you’d like!

Step 1- Bake brownies

Bake brownie mix as directed on the package.

Step 2- Let brownies cool

Let brownies cool completely. Then, use a round cookie cutter or a glass to cut the brownies into 3-ish inch circles.

Step 3- Attach owl eyes

Take a chocolate sand which cookie apart. You might need to take 2 apart because you want the side with the white icing. Use a little bit of icing to attach one side of the sandwich cookie to the round brownie. Do the same thing with the second owl eye.

Step 4- Add details

Use M&M’s to make the eyeballs. Add a candy corn for a beak. For feathers, I used a toothpick to make the icing in between the eyes look like head feathers.

Step 5- Admire & eat

Admire the cute owl brownies and then share them with neighbors and friends! The owls are really that easy to make, and they look so dang cute!

What do you think of the the brownie owls? If cupcakes are more your thing, check out my easy owl cupcakes below! I used black and white icing to give the owl more of a body and cut the yellow portion of the candy corn off to use as the owl’s feet. I also used these large edible eyes instead of Oreos.
