Christmas Tree Brownies
Recipe courtesy of Food Network Kitchen
Total: 2 hr 10 min
Active: 1 hr 10 min
Yield: 16 pieces
Level: Easy
Ingredients
Brownies:
1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, melted and cooled, plus more for greasing the pans
1 1/2 cups granulated sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
3 large eggs
1 cup all-purpose flour (see Cook's Note)
1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
1 teaspoon fine salt
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
3/4 cup semisweet chocolate chips
Sixteen 1 1/2-inch pieces candy cane
White sprinkles and small non-pareil candy-covered chocolates, such as Sno-Caps, for decorating
American Buttercream Frosting:
1 cup confectioners' sugar
1/2 stick (4 tablespoons) unsalted butter, at room temperature
Pinch of fine salt
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/4 to 1/2 tablespoon whole milk
24 drops green food coloring
1 drop red food coloring
Directions
Special equipment: A piping bag or resealable plastic bag
For the brownies: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Butter the bottom and sides of two 8-inch round cake pans. Cut two 8-inch circles out of parchment and line the bottoms of the cake pans with the parchment.
Stir together the butter, granulated sugar, vanilla and eggs in a medium bowl. In another bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, salt and baking powder. Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and stir until just combined. Stir in the chocolate chips and divide the batter between the prepared pans, smoothing the tops. Bake until the brownies begin to gain a crust around the edges, pull away from the edge and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean, 35 to 40 minutes.
Let the brownies cool fully in the pans on cooling racks, about 1 hour. Cut each circle into 8 equal triangles with a knife. Use a small offset spatula or pie server to lift each triangle out of the pan.
For the American buttercream frosting: Combine the confectioners' sugar, butter and salt in the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment (or in a large bowl if using a handheld electric mixer). Mix on low speed until mostly incorporated. Add the vanilla, increase the speed to medium-high and mix until smooth. Loosen the consistency with milk as desired. Add 24 drops green food coloring and 1 drop red food coloring and mix on medium speed for 1 minute. Set aside.
To assemble: Using the tip of a paring knife or a skewer, poke a small hole along the bottom edge of each brownie. Insert a candy cane trunk into each hole.
Fill the piping bag with the frosting and cut 1/4 inch off the tip. Using a zig-zag motion, pipe the frosting from the base to the tip of each tree. Decorate the trees with sprinkles and top each with a candy-covered chocolate as the star.
Cook's Note
When measuring flour, we spoon it into a dry measuring cup and level off the excess. (Scooping directly from the bag compacts the flour, resulting in dry baked goods.)

Ingredients
18 oz box brownie mix plus ingredients on box
16 oz can white frosting
Blue and green liquid food coloring
Decorative sprinkles and nonpareils
Small star sprinkles
Candy canes or pretzel sticks
Instructions
Mix and bake brownies in a square pan according to the instructions on the back of the box. Allow them to completely cool about five minutes in the pan then lift out with foil handles. Allow to cool completely.
Remove brownies from the foil and cut into triangles. We cut out paper triangles measuring 2.5 inches wide at the base and 2.5 inches tall.
Snap the candy canes into 1.5 long pieces, or you can use pretzel sticks. If you do use pretzels, use two side by side since they are small. Press the broken end of the candy cane into the bottom of the brownie triangles.
Separate the frosting into three separate bowls. Tint two of the bowls of frosting with food coloring (blue and green). Fill sandwich sized zipper bags with each color of frosting. Seal and snip off the corner of each bag to make a piping hole.
Decorate the brownies with the colored frostings and various sprinkles and stars.
Notes
It's best to line your baking pan with aluminum foil then spray it with cooking spray. Allow excess foil to hang over the edges of the pan. This will give you handles to lift the brownies out with.
If your brownies are sticky, run the knife blade under hot tape water in between each cut. If you are still having trouble, refrigerate the brownies for a few hours to make them easier to cut.
