Ingredients
Scale
Brownie Base
- 2 Boxes of Brownie Mix, or a double batch of homemade brownies
- Spray oil for greasing pan
Frosting
- 1-3 jars White Frosting
- Edible Gel Food Coloring (red and green, or alternative no artificial dye food coloring)
- Edible Gold Stars
- White Pearl Sprinkles
- Icing Bags
- Frosting Tips (large star tip – 1M)
Instructions
- Preheat and Prepare Pan: Preheat your oven as directed on the brownie mix box. Spray a 9-inch springform pan with cooking spray to prevent sticking.
- Mix Brownies: Combine both boxes of brownie mix or prepare a double batch of homemade brownies following your recipe or package instructions. Pour the batter evenly into the prepared springform pan.
- Bake Brownies: Bake according to package instructions or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. For a double batch, baking time may be longer than usual.
- Cool and Slice: Once baked, allow brownies to cool completely. Remove from the springform pan and place on a cutting board. Cut the brownies into 8 triangular pieces.
- Prepare Frostings: In separate small bowls, tint white frosting with red food coloring in one bowl and green food coloring in another. Leave some frosting white. Adjust the amount of coloring for desired shade and amount of frosting thickness.
- Fill Icing Bags: Dispense red, green, and white frostings into individual icing bags fitted with large star tips (1M).
- Decorate Brownies: Use green frosting to create Christmas tree designs on some brownies, decorating with white pearl sprinkles and edible gold stars. For Santa hat brownies, combine green and white frosting for decoration.
- Serve: Serve decorated brownies immediately and enjoy your festive treats!
Notes
- You can opt to use only one box or batch for less thick brownies.
- Baking time will vary: a double batch may take longer than the typical package recommended time.
- Adjust the amount of frosting and food coloring based on desired coverage thickness and color intensity.
