Xbox Controller Brownie

My husband is a gamer, so I wanted to do something video game-related for his birthday 'cake.'  He actually doesn't like cake that much, so I decided to do a brownie dessert.  This ended up being kind of a blessing in disguise, since cake is more difficult to shape in my opinion.  He and all our friends loved it!  Here's the Xbox controller brownie!

I used:

• Boxed brownie mix
• 3 Rolo chocolate candies (for joy sticks and 'D' pad)
• 4 M 'n' Ms
• 1 small tube of white icing

I cut out a brownie in the shape of the Xbox controller from the large pan of brownies.  You can make two of these if you use a large enough pan.  Use a small amount of icing to help adhere the candies to the brownie.  Then very carefully cut one of the Rolos in half to make it shorter and carve out the 'plus sign' of the directional pad (lower left on the photo).  Write the proper letters on the buttons and make the center white circle with the icing.

  

If you have a gamer in your family, this is a fun and easy themed treat to consider!  Enjoy!
