Ingredients for LEGO Brownies

You will need:

• 12 individually wrapped rectangular brownies, such as Little Debbie brownies
• 1 cup white frosting (vanilla)
• Blue, green, and yellow food coloring
• 72 regular M&M candies: 24 blue, 24 green, and 24 yellow

You need six pieces for each brownie. Sorting them by color before you begin makes decorating considerably faster.

Equipment

You will need:

• Three small bowls
• Three spoons
• Three butter knives or small offset spatulas
• Baking sheet or tray
• Parchment paper

How to Make this LEGO Brownies Recipe 

Step 1: Prepare the Brownies

Line a baking sheet or tray with parchment paper.

Unwrap the brownies and place them on the prepared tray. If the brownies have candy bits or decorations on top, carefully remove them so that you have a reasonably flat surface for the frosting.

Step 2: Color the Frosting

Divide the vanilla icing among three small bowls. Add food coloring to each bowl—blue to one, green to the second, and yellow to the third.

Stir each bowl until the food coloring is evenly distributed. The icing used in the photographs started with approximately four drops of yellow, two drops of blue, and ten drops of green food coloring. Different food coloring brands vary in strength, so begin with a small amount and add more until you reach the desired shade.

For the brightest colors, gel food coloring generally produces vivid results without making the icing too soft.

Step 3: Frost the Brownies

Spread blue icing over four brownies, green over four brownies, and yellow over the remaining four.

Smooth the icing to the edges. It does not need to look perfectly polished—the colorful topping creates most of the LEGO effect.

Step 4: Add the M&Ms

Place six matching chocolate candies on each brownie, arranging them in two rows of three.

Starting with the two pieces closest to the center can help you space all six evenly. Press each one lightly into the icing so it stays in place.

Step 5: Chill the Brownies

Refrigerate the finished brownies in the fridge for about 30 minutes. This allows the icing to firm slightly and helps hold everything in place before serving.

This step is not only satisfying but also gives you that perfect match between the topping and decorations for a seamless LEGO look.

The colors should coordinate with the topping to achieve the perfect LEGO look. So if the brownie is blue, add blue pieces. The same goes for green and yellow.

This step is like the cherry on top—but better, because it’s chocolate!

Chilling also gives the surface a slightly firmer texture, which makes these treats even more satisfying to bite into.

Tips for the Best LEGO Brick Brownies

Use Rectangle Brownies

A rectangle brownie that is approximately twice as long as it is wide creates the most recognizable LEGO shape. Individually wrapped brownies are particularly convenient because they are already evenly sized.

Sort the Colors First

Separate the blue, green, and yellow candies before coloring the frosting. You will need 24 candies of each color.

Keep the Colors Together

Use blue pieces on blue icing, green pieces on green icing, and yellow pieces on yellow icing. Matching the colors helps the brownies look like LEGO bricks.

Use Two Rows of Three

Six candies arranged in two straight rows create the classic brick appearance. You can also make smaller square brownies and use four candies arranged in a two-by-two pattern.

Chill Before Transporting

If you are taking the brownies to a party, chill them before placing them in a covered container. The firmer topping is less likely to smear in transit.

Can I Make This Recipe with Homemade Brownies?

Of course. Prepare your favorite brownie recipe or boxed brownie mix and allow the brownies to cool completely before decorating.

Cut the cooled brownies into even rectangles, spread on the icing, and add the matching chocolate pieces. A clean, sharp knife will produce neater pieces. Wiping the knife between cuts also helps prevent crumbs from collecting along the edges.

The no-bake recipe card below is specifically written for individually wrapped brownies, so the preparation and total times will change if you bake them from scratch.

LEGO Brownie Color Ideas

Blue, green, and yellow help your treats look like LEGO bricks, but you can easily introduce other colors.

Try:

• Red frosting with red M&M’s
• Orange icing with orange chocolate pieces
• Purple frosting with purple candy-coated chocolates
• A combination of your child’s favorite colors
• Party colors that match the invitations and decorations

Seasonal candy packages may be useful when you need a large quantity of one particular color.

How to Serve LEGO Brownies at a Party

Arrange the brownies in rows on a large white tray, stack a few at different angles, or display them around a toy construction scene for a colorful party idea.

For a larger dessert table, pair them with these LEGO cupcakes and decorate the table with a printable LEGO Happy Birthday banner.

You can also add a simple party activity using our LEGO man printable or play Pin the Head on the LEGO Man.

Make-Ahead and Storage Instructions

The brownies can be prepared up to one day before the party. Place them in a single layer in a covered container and refrigerate them so everything remains in place.

Remove them from the refrigerator shortly before serving. Always follow the storage directions printed on the brownie and icing packages you use.

Avoid stacking the brownies unless sheets of parchment paper and enough clearance prevent the frosting from touching the layer above.

For longer storage, freeze undecorated brownies and add the icing and chocolate pieces after thawing. Freezing fully finished brownies can cause the coating to spot or bleed into the icing.
