Test Kitchen Tips:
• Make these brownies a little extra special—top with frosting and your choice of decoration! Use your favorite brand of canned frosting or make your own!
• For an easy dairy-free buttercream, beat 1 cup dairy-free or vegan butter (softened) and 1 tablespoon McCormick® Pure Vanilla Extract with an electric mixer on medium speed until light and fluffy. Gradually add 1 package (16 ounces) confectioners’ sugar, beating on low speed after each addition. Stir in 1 to 2 tablespoons Thai Kitchen® Coconut Milk, mixing until well blended and smooth. Pipe or spread over brownies before cutting into squares.
• If using canned frosting, try adding your favorite McCormick® extract. Amp up the overall flavor of any store bought canned frosting by stirring in 1/2 teaspoon Vanilla Extract. For a sweet, fruity twist, add 1/2 teaspoon Raspberry Extract to 1 can (16 ounces) white frosting or 1 teaspoon to chocolate frosting. For a touch of sweet citrus, try adding 1/2 teaspoon Orange Extract for either white or chocolate frosting.
• If you follow a dairy-free or vegan diet, please double check brownie mixes and other ingredients to ensure they meet your dietary guidelines!
