Ingredients

• One 8x8 or 9x9 pan of brownies baked and cooled, homemade or boxed
• 1/2 cup unsalted butter softened
• 3 cups powdered sugar plus more if needed
• 3-4 tablespoons milk divided
• 1/2 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
• 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder sifted if lumpy

Instructions

1. With a hand mixer, or a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, beat butter until smooth and creamy. Gradually add the powdered sugar. Once all powdered sugar has been added, beat in 2 tablespoons milk and vanilla. Remove a generous 1/4 cup of frosting (to be used for the laces).
2. To the remaining frosting, add cocoa powder and 1 tablespoon milk. Beat on medium speed for about a minute. Add more milk if needed. The frosting should be smooth and able to hold its shape.
3. Place chocolate frosting in a piping bag fitted with a small star attachment. Place white frosting in a separate piping bag with the end snipped just enough to create your desired thickness of laces.
4. Cut the brownies into squares, and then cut off a little bit from two opposite corners to form a hexagon (or you can leave the brownies in a square).
5. Pipe the chocolate frosting in a zig-zag pattern to form a diamond shape. Pipe white laces onto the chocolate frosting.
