How to Make Christmas Rudolph Brownies

Ingredients you’ll need for this recipe

2 large eggs
½ cup (110 g) vegetable oil
2 tbsp water
1 tbsp vanilla extract
½ cup (50 g) powdered sugar
1 cup (200 g) sugar
¾ cup (96 g) flour
½ cup (50 g) cocoa powder
1 cup (170 g) chocolate chips
Red M&M’s (for Rudolph’s nose)
Pretzels (for those cute antlers)
Candy eyes (to bring Rudolph to life)

Step by Step Guide

1. Start by preheating your oven to 160°C (325°F). While it’s warming up, line your 8×8 baking tray with parchment paper to make it easier to lift out the brownies later.

2. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, vegetable oil, vanilla extract, and water. These will form the base of your brownie batter.

3. In a separate bowl, sift together the flour, cocoa powder, powdered sugar, regular sugar, and chocolate chips. Mixing these dry ingredients separately ensures a smooth, lump-free batter.

4. Slowly add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring gently with a spatula. Don’t worry if the batter feels thick—it’s supposed to be! That’s what gives the brownies their rich, fudgy texture.

5. Pour your thick brownie batter into the prepared baking tray and pop it in the oven. Bake for about 20-25 minutes, but do the classic toothpick test before taking them out. If the toothpick comes out clean or with just a few moist crumbs, they’re ready!

6. Once baked, let the brownies cool for 15 to 30 minutes. I know it’s hard to wait, but this step ensures they set properly and slice cleanly.

7. Here comes the fun part! Once your brownies are completely cooled and sliced, it’s time to turn them into Rudolphs. Use the red M&M’s for noses, pretzels for antlers, and candy eyes to give Rudolph his friendly face.

There you have it! These Christmas Rudolph Brownies are not only delicious but also bring a playful holiday spirit to the dessert table. They’re perfect for holiday gatherings, classroom treats, or just a fun way to add a little extra cheer to your day.

So, grab your ingredients, preheat that oven, and get ready to bake up a batch of holiday happiness. Happy baking, and of course—ENJOY!
