Reindeer Brownies
TOTAL TIME: Prep: 30 min. Bake: 25 min. + cooling
YIELD: 2 dozen.
My son, Jeremy, is 36 but acts as if he's 5 when he sees these brownies—I've been making them for more than 30 years! My daughter, Jayme, and my four grandchildren love them, too. If you're short on time, a boxed mix works just fine. —Jeannine Schneider, Fremont, California
