  • Mixing bowl
  • Piping bag or zip-top bag
  • Spatula

Method
 

  1. Bake brownies according to package or homemade recipe instructions and let cool completely.
  2. Cut cooled brownies into long rectangles, then slice diagonally into triangles to form trees.
  3. Insert mini candy cane halves or pretzel sticks into the base of each triangle for the trunk.
  4. Pipe green frosting in zigzags across each brownie to create tree branches.

  6. Let frosting set before serving or packaging for gifts.

Notes

Use chilled brownies for cleaner cuts. Decorate just before serving for the freshest look.
