Pot of Gold Brownie Ingredients & Accessories

Brownies: If you’re short on time, you can use any brownie mix, but I made my chickpea brownies for added protein. They are so fudgy and are perfect if you prefer grain-free recipes. 

Frosting: You could use pre-made frosting or my sweet cream frosting requires just a handful of ingredients and it’s refined sugar free!

Sprinkles: The natural green dye, gold sprinkles, and green sprinkles are all from ifiProvisions. I love that they dye everything naturally. I have a 15% off discount (HEALTHYHOLME) if you want to try! 

Silicone cupcake pan: I prefer silicone cupcake pans so that the brownies can easily pop out. This is the pan I use.

Storage Tips

I recommend storing these Hidden Pot of Gold Brownie Cups in an air tight container in the fridge. The brownies are also able to be frozen and then thawed to decorate later.
