If you love the idea of homemade Christmas treats but don’t have time to bake from scratch (we SEE you, December!), this festive Brownie Glow-Up is your new best friend. It’s quick, cute, delicious — and looks like you spent way more effort than you actually did. Win-win!
Perfect for teachers, neighbours, workmates… or anyone who deserves a little Christmas magic!
Here’s how to turn a simple store-bought brownie into the sweetest way to say Merry Christmas.
⭐ What You’ll Need
- Original Foods Baking Co New York Brownie Bar Slice (or your favourite slab brownie)
- Colour Mill Chocolate Drip – Red
- Christmas sprinkles (snowflakes, trees, holly, metallics — anything festive!)
- Crushed candy canes
- Rectangle cookie box
- Red ribbon or baker's twine
🎁 Step 1: Unwrap & Glow-Up
Take your brownie slab out of the packaging and pop it onto a board. No cutting, no fuss — the magic is all in the toppings.
🍫 Step 2: Drizzle That Drip
Warm your Colour Mill Chocolate Drip according to the bottle instructions.
Then, using a light zig-zag motion, drizzle it generously across the top of your brownie.
✨ Step 3: Sprinkle & Sparkle
While the drizzle is still soft:
- Scatter Christmas sprinkles across the top
- Add a festive crunch with crushed candy canes
Think of it as decorating a Christmas tree… but tastier.
📦 Step 4: Box It Beautifully
Gently lift your brownie glow-up into a rectangle cookie box.
Our clear window cookie boxes make the final product look instantly gift-worthy.
🎀 Step 5: Add the Finishing Touch
Tie a simple red ribbon (or twine!) around the box.
You can stop here, or add a tag with a message like:
“Merry Christmas — the sweetest thank you!”
“A little festive treat just for you!”
