Brownie Gift Tray

With this inexpensive tray which I picked up at a local Dollar Tree, I figured I can skip a step of the packaging process.

Bake, wrap and send, all on the tray – without spending time cutting either. With the easy prep and extra delicious “toppings”, you’re sure to score some real “brownie points”.

You will need:

• Brownie recipe 

    Recipe adapted from Dining In Again. Recipe below.

• 9x13" tray
• Shrink Wrap 
• Ribbon
• Container filled with chocolates (I used coffee beans)
• Initial Sticker 

Brownies:

Yields: One recipe chocolate + one recipe white dough yields approx. 2.5 - 9"x13" cookie sheets

• 1 cup butter or margarine
• ¾ cup sugar
• ¾ cup brown sugar
• 2 eggs
• 1 package chocolate or vanilla pudding (Chocolate for chocolate dough, vanilla for white dough)
• 2 cups flour
• 1 tsp baking soda

Toppings-Viennese crunch broken into pieces, mini marshmallows,macadamia nuts, non perils..

Directions:

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

Cream first 3 ingredients together.

Add remaining ingredients.

Cut a piece of parchment to fit the bottom of the cookie sheet, not the sides.

Fold the parchment paper in four and mark with a sharpie.

Flip parchment over and put into the pan.

Press dough into the pan alternating between the two colors.

Bake approximately 25-30 minutes.

Remove from oven and press the toppings into the dough immediately.

Allow to cool.

Shrink wrap the pan.

Tie box of chocolate together with brownies using your ribbon.
