Patriotic Cream Cheese Decorated Message Brownies

These Cream Cheese Decorated Message Brownies are a super simple, fun idea to spruce up a boxed brownie mix for the 4th of July.  All you need is cream cheese, powdered sugar, gel food dye and a couple piping bags. I did add a tip to the bags but that really isn't necessary. Write whatever you'd like, or let your inner-artist go wild... They are after all, your brownies:@)

I had grandiose visions of paisley and swirls... 
My reality was squiggles and dots:@)
As a point of reference, I only used less than half of the mixture as written below. 
Also added some red, white and blue sprinkles. Every festive occasion calls for some sprinkles...

Cream Cheese Mixture for Decorating Brownies
4 oz cream cheese, room temperature
1 C powdered sugar
enough food coloring gel to make the color you desire
~Mix well, add to piping bag and decorate the top of the brownie batter. Decorate before you bake the brownies per the package directions.

  2. Your brownies are adorable, Lynn!
    Also wanted to let you know that I made your rhubarb/apple crisp tonight and it's fantastic. I've not had much rhubarb production this year, not sure why, but was able to get enough for your recipe.
    Have a great week!
