Ingredients
  

For the Brownies
  • 1 box box of brownie mix plus ingredients required to make it, usually eggs, oil, and water
  • 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips the extra love that makes them irresistible
For the Decorations
  • 1 tube green icing store-bought or homemade
  • 1 cup colorful sprinkles for decorating
  • 1 pack star-shaped candies or a candy star for the tops of your trees

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). This is crucial—the secret to perfect brownies is starting with a warm oven!
  2. Prepare the brownie mix according to the package directions, which usually involves mixing the mix with eggs, water, and oil until combined.
  3. Add the semi-sweet chocolate chips into the mixture.
  4. Pour the brownie batter into a greased or lined baking pan, and bake according to package instructions (usually 20-30 minutes).
  5. Insert a toothpick in the center to check if done; it should come out with a few moist crumbs, not wet batter.
  6. Once baked, allow the brownies to cool completely in the pan.
  7. Remove the brownies from the pan and transfer to a cutting board. Use a sharp knife to cut them into tree shapes.
Decorating
  1. Use green icing to coat the brown tree shapes in fun designs like swirls or zigzags.
  2. Before the icing sets, add your colorful sprinkles and place the star candies on top.
  3. Plate these festive Christmas Tree Brownies on your favorite holiday dish, and enjoy!

Notes

For a festive twist, add a dash of peppermint extract to the brownie mix. If feeling ambitious, whip up your own icing with powdered sugar and milk.
