Easy Christmas Tree Brownies
You know that excited feeling you get when you walk down the Christmas aisle and it’s Just. So. Sparkly. You just want to buy everything? (It can’t just be me who feels that way?) When I was in university, my sister and I shared a townhouse and the first Christmas we spent there together, we went to the hardware store and bought a Christmas tree, tinsel and tons of ornaments to put on it.
It was the first time we were let loose down that sparkly Christmas aisle, and we fell in love with everything we saw.
Easy Christmas Tree Brownies
Ingredients
1 box Brownie Mix
1 tub white vanilla icing
green food colouring
small round sprinkles
small star sprinkles
candy canes
Instructions
Line an 8"x8" baking pan with aluminum foil and spray with cooking spray.
Prepare the brownie mix according to the package directions and bake as directed.
Allow brownies to completely cool, approximately 1.5 hours.
Remove the brownies from the pan, and cut into triangles. (Cut in three rows, then cut in alternating diagonals, as in the photo shown above).
Unwrap the candy canes, and use a sharp knife to gently cut/break the candy canes into 1.5" long pieces.
Press the sharper end of the candy cane into the bottom of the brownie triangles.
Spoon out approximately ½ of the tub of icing into a bowl.
Add green food colouring until you're happy with the colour.
Spoon the green icing into a zip lock bag.
Seal the bag and cut off a small corner of the bag with sharp scissors.
Starting at the top of the brownie triangles, gently squeeze out the icing in a curvy zigzag as you go down the tree.
Add your favourite sprinkles and a small star sprinkle at the top.
Enjoy!
