Description
Make festive Christmas Tree Brownies for a cute holiday treat. These simple brownies are perfect for sharing holiday cheer.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 box of your favorite brownie mix
- Ingredients required by brownie mix (usually water, oil, eggs)
- Green food coloring
- White frosting or glaze
- Small candies or sprinkles for decoration (red, white, yellow)
Instructions
- Prepare the brownie batter following the package directions, but divide the batter into two bowls.
- Add green food coloring to one bowl until you achieve a rich, tree-like color. Leave the other bowl as is for the tree trunk color, or use a chocolate frosting later.
- Grease and flour a baking pan suitable for cutting out shapes.
- Pour the green batter into the prepared pan, spreading evenly.
- Bake the brownies according to the mix instructions.
- Once baked and cooled completely, use a Christmas tree-shaped cookie cutter to cut out individual brownies.
- Prepare the white frosting or glaze.
- Decorate the top of each brownie tree with the white frosting to resemble snow or garland.
- Place small candies or sprinkles on the green brownies to act as ornaments.
- If you want a trunk, use a small square of plain brownie or a dab of brown frosting at the bottom point of the tree shape.
Notes
- Do not overbake the brownies; they should remain fudgy.
- Allow the brownies to cool completely before cutting; this prevents crumbling.
- Use different shades of green for a varied look.
- Store leftover brownies in an airtight container at room temperature.
