Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

Brownie Base
  • 1 cup unsalted butter Use salted butter, reduce added salt to taste
  • 2 cups granulated sugar For less sweet brownies, reduce to 1 3/4 cups
  • 4 large eggs Room temperature helps emulsify batter
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour For gluten-free, use a 1:1 gluten-free flour blend
  • 1 cup unsweetened cocoa powder Preferably Dutch-processed for deeper flavor
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
Decoration
  • 1 container chocolate frosting Store-bought or homemade
  • 1 container white chocolate or icing For football laces

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (180°C). Grease a football-shaped brownie pan or line it with parchment paper for easy release.
  2. Melt the butter in a large heatproof bowl (microwave or stovetop). Stir in the sugar until well combined and slightly glossy.
  3. Add eggs one at a time, whisking after each addition for a smooth mixture. Stir in the vanilla.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, cocoa powder, salt, and baking powder until evenly distributed.
  5. Gradually fold dry ingredients into the wet mixture until just combined—do not overmix.
  6. Pour the batter into the prepared football pan and spread evenly. Tap the pan to release air bubbles.
Baking
  1. Bake for 20–25 minutes, or until a toothpick in the center comes out with a few moist crumbs. Start checking at 18 minutes.
  2. Cool the brownies completely in the pan, then frost with chocolate frosting.
  3. Melt white chocolate or prepare icing and pipe the laces to resemble a football.
Serving
  1. Slice and serve at your Super Bowl party.

Notes

Store in an airtight container for up to 2 days at room temperature or up to 5 days in the refrigerator. Unfrosted brownies freeze best—cool, wrap tightly, and freeze up to 3 months.
