INAUGURATION DAY BROWNIES: Red, White, and Blue

Here's a great recipe to celebrate Inauguration Day: Red, White & Blue Star Brownies. I love this recipe adapted from Betty Crocker. I've made it many times. You can always substitute your own brownie recipe or another brand of brownie mix, but here's the original easy recipe.

If you don't have Betty Crocker Decorating Decors stars or icing (or you think it would be too sweet), use Red, White, & Blue M&Ms (press into batter before baking) or Red, White & Blue sprinkles. These Brownies are perfect to celebrate our 46th President!

Red White & Blue Star Brownies

Ingredients 
1 box (1 lb 2.4 oz) Betty Crocker™ Original Supreme Premium brownie mix
Water, vegetable oil, and egg called for on brownie mix box
1/2 cup Betty Crocker™ Whipped fluffy white frosting (from 12-oz container)
Betty Crocker™ Decorating Decors stars (or Red, White, and Blue Sprinkles if you don't have stars)

Directions 
Heat oven to 350°F. Line 9-inch square pan with foil so foil extends about 2 inches over sides of pan. Spray foil with cooking spray.
Make and bake brownies as directed on box. Cool completely, about 1 1/2 hours.
Remove brownies from pan by lifting foil; peel foil from sides of brownies.
Using 2 1/2-inch star-shaped cookie cutter, cut brownies.
Squeeze frosting on star-shaped brownies.
Sprinkle with red, white, and blue star decor or red, white, and blue sprinkles.
