Equipment

  • 1 8'x8' baking dish
  • 2 Mixing bowls
  • 1 Whisk
  • 1 Spatula

Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup powdered sugar
  • 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
  • 2/3 cup cocoa powder
  • 1/4 cup milk chocolate chips
  • 1/4 cup white chocolate chips
  • 1/4 cup dark chocolate chips
  • 1/2 teaspoon sea salt
  • 3 large eggs
  • 1/2 cup vegetable oil
  • 1/4 cup melted butter
  • 1 tsp vanilla
  • Chocolate cereal

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 350°F.
  • Grease an 8" x 8" baking dish with butter or cooking spray.
  • Combine the dry ingredients into a mixing bowl. In a separate bowl, whisk all the wet ingredients together.
  • Slowly add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring as you go. Mix until just combined.
  • Fill the greased baking dish with your brownie mixture and spread out evenly. Use a spatula to level the top.
  • Bake for 22-30 minutes, depending on how fudgy you want them to be. Leave to cool completely.
  • Use your fingers to crumble the brownie pieces into a bowl. Test whether they stick together by squeezing a handful in your hand. If not, add some frosting to help the pieces stick together.
  • Squeeze the brownie crumbs together to create tall cone shapes. The exterior should be smooth.
  • Using kitchen tweezers, place individual pieces of chocolate cereal lengthways from the bottom up to create the pinecone texture.
  • Dust with powdered sugar to serve.
