Super Sized Football Brownie

Ever ask yourself "are you goofy???". Yep, the question does come up here... I wanted to make a Super Sized Football Brownie for my PIGSkin Challenge and thought I'd make the shape with tin foil and build a pan and, and, and... Hello, how about I just make 9x13 brownies (or any size rectangular pan) and trim the corners to look like a football. Much better:@) The white is whatever type of frosting you'd like to use. I went with an NFL type ball this week, zig-zag white stripes on the sides for a college ball.
What's that you ask? Where are the other two corners?
Um, I think Earl ate them...
Pin It
Notes:
  • I lined the baking dish with Reynolds Release and chilled the brownies well after they cooled off, then peeled the foil off the bottom.
  • Don't even dirty an icing tip, just add icing to a disposable icing bag and snip a small hole in the end.
  • Feeling spunky? Go ahead and write "go team" (or "ugh" if you're an Eagles fan) on the brownie too, there's plenty of room for a message!
  • The easiest way to bring something like this to a party and not have to worry about remembering to take your serving tray home, simply cover some cardboard with tin foil.
PS-All you cookie sheet/pan companies out there... I'd love to see a large-one batch size-football shaped cookie pan and bet I'm not the only one. That would be great for parties!

    That naughty Earl is always getting into things, but I can't blame him one bit...I'd be eating those ends, too! Thanks for the great idea, Lynn! xo

    What a fun and easy shape. I agree, a football shaped brownie pan would be in a lot of homes.
