Ingredients
  

For the Brownies
  • 1 box box of brownie mix (any brand, BAKED and cooled)
  • 2 pieces eggs
  • 1/2 cup vegetable oil
  • 3 tablespoons water
For the Frosting and Topping
  • 2 cups powdered sugar
  • 1/2 cup softened butter (to room temperature)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2-3 tablespoons milk Add gradually for desired consistency
  • Green food coloring For coloring the frosting
  • Holiday sprinkles For decoration
  • Yellow star decorations For the top of the tree
  • Disposable piping bag For applying frosting
  • Wilton Star tip (1m) For frosting application
  • 3 round cookie/biscuit cutters in varying sizes For cutting brownie shapes

Method
 

Preparing the Frosting
  1. In a mixing bowl, combine the powdered sugar, softened butter, and vanilla extract. Mix until smooth.
  2. Gradually add milk, one tablespoon at a time, until you reach your desired frosting consistency.
  3. Attach the star tip to the piping bag and fill it with your green frosting.
Making the Brownie Trees
  1. Using your cookie cutters, gently cut out brownie circles in three different sizes.
  2. Start stacking the brownie circles from largest to smallest, each topped with a squeeze of frosting.
  3. For the tree's top, add a dollop of frosting and place a yellow star on top. Finish by adding holiday sprinkles for that festive touch.
  4. Repeat the process with the remaining brownie circles.

Notes

Store any leftover Brownie Christmas Trees in an airtight container at room temperature for up to three days. For longer storage, freeze un-frosted brownie cut-outs in a sealed container for up to one month. Thaw and frost prior to serving for best taste. If you're looking for a gluten-free option, there are brownie mixes available that cater to that need. Don't rush the cooling process to avoid crumbling. Feel free to add more green food coloring to the frosting for vibrancy or mix in other colors for a fun twist.
