I love summertime grilling and entertaining. I like serving food that is delicious with a fun presentation so it adds life to my cookout. This is why I created these brownie burgers that are displayed on a faux, charcoal grill. This faux grill is a perfect decoration for any barbecue and it also servers a dual purpose as a dessert tray. Most of the items I used to create this grill you may already have around your house. This will definitely be a conversation piece at your next summer event! This would also be great for Father’s Day!

Here’s a video teaching how to make my Faux Charcoal Grill.

Instructions to Make the Brownie Burgers and the Faux Charcoal Grill

Attach the lid to the bottom part of the shoebox with a hot glue gun and paint black.

Paint the paper towel rolls and the jar lids silver and glue to the inside edges of the shoebox lid.

To make the charcoal, fold a piece of paper towel as shown above.

Roll it into a square and secure the edges with craft glue.

Seal the edges together with craft glue and crimp together so it looks like a charcoal briquette.

Spray paint the briquettes with black paint.

Lightly spray the briquette with white paint to simulate the coals ashing over.

Tear pieces of red and orange tissue paper and place them onto the grill. Arrange charcoal on the tissue and add red lights.

Use a round cookie cutter or glass to cut out brownies in a round burger shape. Melt chocolate,  place in a plastic bag fitted with a decorator tip and draw lines on top of the brownies to make the griddle marks to complete your fun brownie burger on a faux charcoal grill.
