To get started, you will want to preheat your oven to 350 F. Grease a 9 x 9 square baking pan with non-stick cooking spray and set aside.

In a large mixing bowl, mix together brownie mix, water, egg, and oil. You can also use a stand mixer or hand mixer if you prefer.

Mix all of your ingredient for your brownies extremely well.

Pour your brownie mixture into a baking pan and bake for 30 minutes.

Let brownies cool to room temperature.

Heat frosting in the microwave for 30 seconds in a small mixing bowl. We used vanilla frosting here, but you can use any white frosting you desire.

Mix in 5-10 drops of green food coloring and mix the frosting until well combined. If you would like it a little darker,, add a few more drops.

Pour the green frosting over the top of cooled brownies.

Cut the Grinch brownies recipe into squares and add 1 red heart sprinkle to each brownie. Let the frosting firm up before enjoying.

Store the brownies in an air tight storage container until enjoying.
