Ingredients

For the brownies:

1/2 cup butter softened
1 cup granulated sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 eggs
1/2 cup flour
1/3 cup cocoa powder
1/4 teaspoons baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
Rainbow sour rope
Gold coin sprinkles

For the frosting:

4 ounces cream cheese softened
1/4 cup unsalted butter softened
2 cups powdered sugar
Green gel food coloring

Instructions

For the brownies:

Preheat the oven to 350°F(175°C). Grease a 9x9 baking pan and set aside.
In a medium bowl stir together softened butter, sugar, and vanilla extract. Add the eggs and mix well. In a small bowl stir together flour, cocoa, baking powder and salt.
Pour the dry ingredients into the bowl and mix until smooth.
Pour into the prepared baking pan and bake for 20-25 minutes, until a toothpick comes out clean. Let cool completely on a wire rack.
Cut them into 12 equal squares.

For the frosting:

Beat butter on medium high speed for about 5 minutes, until light and fluffy. Add cream cheese and beat until smooth.
Slowly add powdered sugar, until it is all added and the frosting is smooth and creamy. Reserve about 1/4 of the frosting in a separate bowl.
Drop in a few drops of green food coloring and fold it in until you reach the desired color.
Frost the cupcakes with the green frosting. Put the white frosting into a piping bag to pipe on little clouds on either side of the brownie.
Cut a rainbow rope into 3” pieces. Place a piece between the clouds. Sprinkle on a few gold coin sprinkles.
