Servings: 15
Equipment
Ingredients
- 16.3 ounce brownie mix 1 box, plus oil and eggs as directed on package
- 16 ounce vanilla frosting 1 tub
- green food coloring
- sprinkles or candy for decorating
- small candy cane sticks optional
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350℉. Line an 9x9-inch baking pan with parchment.
- Prepare brownie mix according to package directions. Pour into prepared pan.
- Bake according to package directions until set. Allow brownies to cool in pan for 15 minutes. Use the parchment to transfer brownies to a cooling rack. Allow to cool completely.
- Once fully cooled, cut the brownies into three rows. Cut those rows at an angle to form 5 triangles per row (there will be an odd shape at each end - save these for snacking).
- Add 4 drops of green food coloring to the frosting. Mix until fully combined.
- Using a piping bag (or resealable bag with a corner cut off), decorate the brownie trees and top with sprinkles or candy.
- If desired, add a trunk by sticking a candy cane stick into the base of each brownie tree.
Notes
Christmas tree brownies will keep in an airtight container at room temperature for 2 days. They will keep in the refrigerator for 4 days. Brownie trees can be frozen and will keep for 2 months in the freezer.
