Ingredients

Scale

Brownies

  • 2 Boxes of Brownie Mix, or a double batch of homemade brownies
  • Spray oil for greasing the pan

Frosting and Decorations

  • 1 to 3 jars of White Frosting
  • Edible Gel Food Coloring (red and green) or natural food coloring alternatives
  • Edible Gold Stars
  • White Pearl Sprinkles
  • Icing Bags
  • Frosting Tip (large star tip, size 1M)

Instructions

  1. Preheat and Prepare Pan: Preheat your oven according to the instructions on the brownie mix box. Spray a 9-inch springform pan evenly with spray oil to ensure the brownies do not stick.
  2. Mix and Bake Brownies: Prepare both boxes of brownie mix or a double batch of your homemade brownie batter. Pour the batter into the prepared springform pan and bake following the package instructions or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean, usually about 25-35 minutes.
  3. Cool and Cut: Once baked, allow the brownies to cool completely in the pan. Carefully remove the springform sides, then place the brownie slab onto a cutting board. Using a sharp knife, cut the brownies into 8 even triangle shapes, mimicking Christmas tree slices.
  4. Prepare Frostings: In a small bowl, mix white frosting with edible red gel food coloring until you achieve a vibrant red shade. In a separate bowl, do the same with green food coloring to create green frosting. Keep some white frosting plain.
  5. Fill Icing Bags: Place each colored frosting (red, green, and white) into individual icing bags fitted with the large star (1M) frosting tip for easy decorating.
  6. Decorate Brownies: Use the green frosting to create Christmas tree shapes on the triangle brownies. Add white pearl sprinkles and edible gold stars to embellish the trees. For Santa Claus hat brownies, use red and white frostings to pipe hat shapes on brownies cut in your preferred style.
  7. Serve and Enjoy: Arrange the decorated brownies on a festive platter and serve fresh at your holiday celebration. Enjoy the rich, chocolaty goodness with a seasonal twist!

Notes

  • Ensure brownies are completely cooled before frosting to avoid melting the frosting.
  • Adjust the amount of food coloring to achieve desired color intensity.
  • Use natural food colorings if you prefer to avoid artificial dyes.
  • The brownie pan size can be adjusted, but baking time will vary accordingly.
  • If homemade brownies are used, ensure they have a fudgy consistency to hold decorations well.
