Ingredients

Instructions

1. Preheat the oven to 160°C and line a 20 cm square tin with baking paper.
2. Microwave the butter in a microwave-safe bowl for 1 minute.
3. Add the caster sugar and cocoa powder to the butter and stir.
4. Microwave in 30-second bursts at 50% power, stirring after each, until melted and combined.
5. Let the mixture cool slightly.
6. Whisk in the vanilla extract and eggs until combined.
7. Sift in the plain flour and mix gently.
8. Pour into the prepared tin and bake for 30 minutes, until just cooked through; do not overcook.
9. Leave the brownie in the tin to cool completely.
10. Trim any raised edges so the brownie is a flat square, turn it onto a flat board and cut into 16 equal rectangles.
11. Cut the pretzels in half with a sharp knife and press a half into the top of each brownie piece for the antlers.
12. Spread melted milk chocolate over the front of the brownie pieces, a couple at a time so it does not set too quickly.
13. Add a Jaffa for the nose and 2 silver cachous for the eyes.
14. Trim the mini candy canes into small straight pieces of about 6 cm and insert one into the base of each brownie piece.
