Ingredients

Scale

Brownies

  • 1 box brownie mix (plus ingredients required to prepare per package instructions)

Decorations

  • Green frosting (store-bought or homemade)
  • Holiday sprinkles
  • Mini candy stars or M&Ms (for tree toppers)
  • Mini candy canes (optional, for tree trunks)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Brownies: Follow the package instructions to prepare the brownie mix and bake it in a 9×13-inch pan. Once baked, allow the brownies to cool completely to ensure clean cuts and easy decorating.
  2. Cut into Triangles: Using a pizza cutter or knife, carefully cut the cooled brownies into triangle shapes, wiping the cutter clean between slices to maintain neat edges.
  3. Decorate the Trees: Pipe green frosting onto each triangle in a zigzag or swirl pattern to mimic the look of a Christmas tree.
  4. Add Ornaments: Sprinkle holiday-themed decorations and top each tree with mini candy stars or M&Ms to resemble ornaments and tree toppers.
  5. Optional Trunks: Break mini candy canes into pieces and insert a piece at the base of each triangle to create a festive tree trunk effect.

Notes

  • Allow brownies to cool completely before cutting and decorating to prevent frosting from melting.
  • Use a sharp or clean pizza cutter for smooth triangle shapes.
  • Customize decorations with any holiday sprinkles or candies you prefer.
  • For a homemade frosting, mix powdered sugar with green food coloring and a bit of milk to reach desired consistency.
  • Store decorated brownies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
