Ingredients
Scale
- 1 box brownie mix
- 1 tub white vanilla icing
- Green food coloring (40–50 drops)
- Small round sprinkles
- Small star sprinkles
- Candy canes (broken into 1.5-inch pieces)
- Aluminum foil (for lining the pan)
- Cooking spray
Instructions
- Preheat oven and prepare brownie mix according to package instructions. Line an 8″x8″ baking pan with aluminum foil and spray with cooking spray. Pour brownie batter into pan and bake as directed. Allow brownies to cool completely for at least 1.5 hours.
- Remove brownies from pan and cut into triangle shapes. Break candy canes into 1.5″ pieces and insert into the bottom of each triangle to form the tree trunk.
- Mix half a tub of white icing with green food coloring until desired shade is reached. Spoon green icing into a zip-top bag and snip off a corner.
- Pipe icing in zigzag pattern from top to bottom of each triangle. Decorate with sprinkles and top each tree with a star sprinkle.
- Let icing set before storing or serving.
Notes
- Use gel food coloring for a more vibrant green with less liquid.
- Chill brownies before cutting to get cleaner triangle shapes.
- Add trunks before icing to avoid smudging.
- Store in a single layer or with parchment between layers to prevent icing damage.
- Great make-ahead treat; icing hardens overnight.
