1. - Bake brownies. Prepare your chosen brownie recipe following the instructions. Spread the batter into a prepared pan treated with cooking spray. Bake according to the recipe instructions, removing the brownies 2 to 3 minutes before they are done baking.
2. - Make candy discs. As the brownies bake, melt orange, red, green and lavender Candy Melts candy, separately, according to package directions. Prepare decorating bags with melted candy. On a parchment paper-covered board, pipe 1 in. puddle dots. Chill until set, about 5 to 10 minutes.
3. - Add candy dots to nearly done brownies. After taking the brownies out of the oven, lightly press a candy dot, flat side up, into each brownie. Alternate colors as desired.
4. - Finish baking brownies. Return the brownies to the oven for an additional 2 to 3 minutes. Cook brownies until the candy dots are soft, but not melted. Then remove them from the oven and let them cool completely to room temperature.
5. - Once cool, place brownies in the refrigerator and chill until the candy is solid. This shouldn't take more than 30 minutes.
6. - Tint icing. While brownies are in the refrigerator, tint icings. Using Black food coloring, tint 1/4 a cup of creamy white decorator icing black. Using Kelly Green food coloring, tint 1/8 a cup of creamy white decorator icing green. Using Christmas Red food coloring, tint 1/4 a cup of creamy white decorator icing red. Reserve remaining white icing.
7. - Decorate brownies. Prepare four decorating bags with tip 2. Fill separately with black, green, red and white icings. Pipe cute emojis onto candy. When finished, cut brownies and enjoy.
