How to Make Brownie Footballs

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Line a 13x9x2 inch rectangular baking pan with aluminum foil, leaving a 2-inch overhang on the shorter sides.
  3. Lightly grease the foil with cooking spray.
  4. In a medium bowl, combine brownie mix (according to package instructions), 1/2 cup chocolate syrup, 1/2 cup water, 1/3 cup vegetable oil, and 2 large eggs. Mix until well blended.
  5. Spread the batter evenly in the prepared pan.
  6. Bake for 28-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted 2 inches from the side comes out almost clean.
  7. Let the brownies cool completely in the pan, approximately 1 hour.
  8. Carefully lift the brownies out of the pan using the foil overhang.
  9. Use a 3 1/2 x 2 inch football-shaped cookie cutter to cut out football shapes.
  10. Frost the footballs with your favorite chocolate frosting.
  11. In a small microwave-safe bowl, combine 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate baking chips, 1 tablespoon milk, and 1 tablespoon butter.
  12. Microwave uncovered on medium-high for 1 minute.
  13. Stir and microwave in 10-second intervals until the chips are melted and smooth.
  14. Drizzle the melted chocolate over the frosting to create football laces.
