Brownie Flag: Independence Day Recipes

This gorgeous Brownie Flag dessert is perfect for a summer party. You could use sliced strawberries for the red stripes, but I think raspberries are perfect.

• Prep Time: 20 minutes
• Cook Time: 25 minutes
• Total Time: 45 minutes
• Yield: Serves 16-20

Ingredients:

• 2 (8″x 8″ size) packages brownie mix
• 1/2 cup water
• 2/3 cup vegetable oil
• 2 eggs
• 1 (16-ounce) can cream cheese frosting
• 1 (16-ounce) can white frosting
• 1/2 cup blueberries
• 3 cups raspberries

Preparation:

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Spray a 9×13″ pan with nonstick cooking spray containing flour. In large bowl, combine brownie mixes, water, vegetable oil, and eggs; beat for 50 strokes.

Bake for 35-40 minutes or until brownies are just set; do not over bake. Cool completely on wire rack.

Frost brownies with both cans of frosting, using the cream cheese frosting first, then the white frosting; smooth top. Using blueberries, make the ‘stars’ in the upper left hand corner of the brownies. Using raspberries, make the ‘stripes’. Cut into squares to serve.
