  1. Preheat the oven to 325 degrees.
  2. Use either non-stick foil or just use regular foil & then spray with non-stick spray & line a metal 9″x9″ baking pan.
  3. Stir butter & chocolate in a heavy large saucepan over low heat until completely melted. Remove from heat.
  4. Whisk in sugar & then eggs- one at a time.
  5. Stir in vanilla, salt & food coloring.
  6. Sift the flour & baking powder & then stir it in & blend well.
  7. Transfer the batter to the prepared pan.
  8. Bake until puffed & dry looking- or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out with just some moist batter attached. (about 35-45 minutes).
  9. Cool completely in the pan on a wire rack.
  10. Once Cool- prepare your frosting.
  11. In a small saucepan combine sweetened condensed milk & white chocolate chips.
  12. Heat until completely melted & smooth.

  14. Top with M&M's & sprinkles.
  15. Allow to set before cutting. I popped mine in the refrigerator overnight.

Notes

Ensure the brownies cool completely before adding the frosting. For a deeper red color, use gel food color instead of liquid.
