Equipment

Ingredients

  • 1 box milk chocolate brownie mix + ingredients from the box water, oil, eggs
  • 1 ½ sticks of butter ¾ cup softened
  • 3 cups powdered sugar
  • 3 tbsp. Milk
  • 1 tsp. vanilla
  • Green gel food coloring we used great value neon green gel
  • Christmas sprinkles

Instructions

  • Preheat your oven to 350 degrees fahrenheit, and spray a 9x13 inch pan with non-stick spray, set aside.
  • Prepare the brownie mix, according to the box directions.
  • Pour the batter into your prepared pan and bake according to the time recommendation on the box, about 25-30 minutes.
  • Allow the brownies to cool completely.
  • Once the brownies have cooled, cut out your triangle brownie pieces by cutting the entire pan of brownies in half length-wise. Then, divide the halves into triangles. You may have some extra brownie left on the ends that you can discard, or set aside.
  • Remove the triangle brownies from the pan to decorate!
  • Start by preparing the frosting.
  • Use a hand mixer to beat the sticks of butter until smooth.
  • Add powdered sugar and beat to combine the sugar and butter until fluffy.
  • Add the vanilla, and 1-2 tablespoon of milk. Mix to combine.
  • If needed, add the last tbsp. Of milk to reach your desired consistency.
  • Finally, add a generous amount of the green gel food coloring and mix to incorporate, adding more if needed, until you reach your desired shade. If your frosting becomes too thin, add 2 tablespoon of powdered sugar at a time, and mix, until you reach your desired consistency.
  • To decorate, add a squiggle of the green frosting to your tree brownies, and top with Christmas sprinkles.
  • Enjoy, and refrigerate any leftovers.
