How to Make Carrot-Shaped Brownies
Step 1: Prepare the Brownies
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line an 8×8 baking dish with parchment paper to prevent sticking. Prepare the brownie mix according to the package instructions, stirring until smooth. Pour the batter into the dish and spread evenly. Bake for about 25 minutes—slightly underbaking ensures a soft texture, making it easier to mold later. Let the brownies cool completely before handling.
Step 2: Shape the Brownies
Once cooled, use a fork to break up the brownies until they have a soft, dough-like consistency. Take small portions and shape them into carrot-like forms, then place them on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Freeze for 20 minutes—this helps them hold their shape when coated in chocolate.
Step 3: Prepare the Chocolate Coating
Melt the white chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl in 20-second intervals, stirring each time, until smooth. Divide into two bowls: mix ¾ of the chocolate with orange food dye for the carrots and ¼ with green food dye for the leaves.
Step 4: Dip & Decorate
Dip each brownie carrot into the orange chocolate, coating completely, then place them back on the parchment paper to set. Once slightly set, use a piping bag to add green chocolate “leaves” at the top. For extra detail, drizzle remaining orange chocolate over the surface to mimic a carrot’s texture. Allow to set completely before serving.
Storage Tips
Store your carrot brownies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days. For longer storage, keep them in the fridge for up to a week or freeze for up to a month.
FAQ
Can I make these ahead of time?
Yes! Prepare the brownie carrots and freeze them in advance. When ready, dip and decorate them on the day of serving.
Can I use homemade brownies instead of a mix?
Absolutely! Just make sure they’re fudgy rather than cakey for easier shaping.
What if I don’t have white chocolate?
You can use candy melts instead, which come in various colors and are easy to work with.
How can I make the decoration easier?
Use a ziplock bag with the tip cut off if you don’t have a piping bag for the green chocolate.

Ingredients
1 box 1 fudge brownie mix + ingredients
8 ounces 8 white chocolate, melted
Orange Food Dye
Green Food Dye
Directions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line an 8×8 baking dish with parchment paper.
- Prepare the fudge brownie mix according to the package instructions, using the required ingredients (typically water, oil, and eggs). Mix well until smooth.
- Pour the brownie batter into the prepared baking dish and spread it evenly.
- Bake the brownies in the preheated oven for 25 minutes. Make sure they are slightly underdone, so they are the right texture to blend with a fork to shape into carrots. Once baked, remove from the oven and let them cool completely in the pan.
- Once the brownies are cool, use a fork to blend the brownie until it forms into the texture of cookie dough.
- Take pieces of the soft brownie and shape into carrots, placing on a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Once all the brownie dough has been used, place these in the freezer for 20 minutes.
- While the brownies freeze, melt 8 ounces of white chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl in 20-second intervals, stirring in between, until fully melted and smooth.
- Divide the melted white chocolate into two bowls. In one bowl with ¾ of the melted white chocolate, add a few drops of orange food dye and stir until the chocolate reaches the desired shade of orange. In the second bowl with just ¼ of the melted white chocolate, add a few drops of green food dye and stir to make green chocolate.
- Dip each carrot-shaped brownie into the orange white chocolate, covering the entire surface. Place the dipped brownies on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper to set.
- Once the orange chocolate has set slightly, use a piping bag filled with the green white chocolate to pipe leaf designs at the top of each brownie to mimic the green leaves of a carrot.
- For added design, use the remaining orange white chocolate to pipe lines or decorative details on the carrot shape for texture.
- Allow the decorated brownies to cool and the chocolate to fully set before serving.
- Enjoy your adorable carrot-shaped brownies, perfect for Easter!
