    These are great, but don't forget the foil step. It's very important!

    My family loved these brownies. I added chocolate chips in the brownie mix. I noticed it's easier to cut the brownies if you put them in the freezer for an hour. Also, it's easier to put the candy cane in the brownie on the side of the brownie that was not touching the side of the pan. I added a mini gold M&M on top for a star.

    These turned out just like the picture. Very impressive and a stand-out treat against the dozen other gift sweets I made for Christmas. Of course they taste yummy - I used a fool-proof mix as directed.
