How To Make Christmas Tree Brownies
Start by mixing up your brownies with water, oil, and eggs. Once you get it mixed up pour into your pan and bake as directed in the printable recipe card below.
Cut your cooled brownies into triangles. You don’t need to use a cookie-cutter, cutting in this design you can get quite a few triangles out of each pan of brownies you use.
Next, you can frost your cooled brownies to look like a tree. You can use a piping bag to get the greenery on the brownies to mimic limbs.
Then add on the mini M&M’s for the Christmas lights on your tree. Top with the yellow star sprinkle. When I added the M&M’s I made sure the little m’s was on the frosting so you didn’t see the letters on the holiday tree brownies.
How to Store Brownies
You will want to store your brownies in an airtight container. I recommend doing a single layer of brownies, or you will find that the brownies stick together.
If you do stack on top make sure to do a layer of wax paper in between so it helps the brownies from sticking together.
Can You Freeze Frosted Brownies
Can You Freeze Frosted Brownies You for sure can freeze these frosted brownies. Just place your brownies in an airtight container and store in the freezer for up to three months. When you want one, remove and let thaw at room temperature.
If you want to stack brownies go ahead and use wax paper to help the brownies not stick together.
