Ingredients

Scale

Brownie Base

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

Frosting

  • 13 jars White Frosting (depending on desired amount for decorating)
  • Edible Gel Food Coloring (red and green, preferably no artificial dyes)

Decorations

  • Edible Gold Stars
  • White Pearl Sprinkles
  • Icing Bags
  • Frosting Tips (large star tip – 1M)

Instructions

  1. Preheat and Prepare Pan: Preheat your oven according to the instructions on your brownie mix boxes. Spray a 9-inch springform pan with spray oil to prevent sticking.
  2. Mix Brownie Batter: Combine both boxes of brownie mix or prepare a double batch of your homemade brownies. Pour the batter evenly into the prepared springform pan.
  3. Bake Brownies: Bake according to the package instructions until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Remove from the oven and allow to cool completely.
  4. Slice Brownies: After cooling, remove the brownies from the springform pan and place them on a cutting board. Cut the brownies into 8 equal triangles to resemble Christmas trees or hats.
  5. Prepare Frostings: In separate small bowls, tint white frosting with red and green edible gel food coloring to create vibrant holiday colors. Leave some frosting white for contrast.
  6. Fill Icing Bags: Transfer the red, green, and white frostings into individual icing bags fitted with a large star tip (1M) for easy decorating.
  7. Decorate: Use the green frosting to frost the triangle brownies shaped like Christmas trees, adding white pearl sprinkles as snow and gold stars as tree toppers. For Santa hat brownies, pipe red and white frosting to mimic the classic look.
  8. Serve and Enjoy: Arrange your decorated brownies on a festive platter and enjoy these delightful holiday treats with family and friends.

Notes

  • You can use your favorite homemade brownie recipe instead of box mixes for a more personalized flavor.
  • Adjust the amount of food coloring to achieve your preferred frosting color intensity.
  • Ensure brownies are fully cooled before frosting to prevent melting and sliding.
  • If you don’t have a large star tip, a round tip or even a plastic bag with a small cut corner can be used for piping.
  • Store frosted brownies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
