Chocolate Madeleines
  1. Preheat oven to 375 F and grease Madeleine mold generously with cooking spray.
  2. Beat eggs in a a large bowl until frothy. Slowly stream in sugar and mix until just combined, then mix in vanilla.
  3. Sift in flour and cocoa powder, then fold in gently. Pour in melted butter and stir to combine.
  4. Scoop heaping tablespoons of batter into Madeleine mold. Batter may be thickened significantly - don't worry, this is normal. Also, there is no need to smooth down the batter as it will spread out in oven. Bake for 10 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  5. Let cool in pan for 5 minutes, then flip out onto cooling rack. If madeleines do not immediately release from pan, gently nudge them out with a butter knife. Let cool completely, then dip halfway in white chocolate/Candiquik. Let set for 10 minutes, then decorate with royal icing.
Easy Royal Icing
  1. Whisk together powdered sugar and meringue powder, then mix in water one tablespoon at a time with an electric mixer. Continue adding water until desired consistency is reached (ideally a bit thicker than wet glue, and slightly too thick is better than slightly too thin). Color icing with food color and transfer to piping bags or Ziploc bags.

  1. Preheat oven to 350F and grease an 8" x 8" pan with cooking spray. Line the pan with a parchment paper sling, then re-grease lightly.
  2. In a large bowl, mix together melted butter, sugar, and vanilla extract. Stir in eggs until combined, then gently fold in cocoa powder. Finally, mix in flour, baking powder, and salt.
  3. Pour batter into prepared pan and bake for 20-25 min, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Let brownies cool in the pan, then refrigerate to chill completely. This will make it much easier to cut the brownies cleanly with cookie cutters.
  4. Once brownies are chilled, remove from pan and cut with cookie cutters. Decorate with frosting and sprinkles, place in mini cupcake liners, and arrange in chocolate box.
