If you have a party or event you are wanting to make these for, go ahead and make a day early. Just store your decorated brownies in an airtight container so they don’t harden on top or dry out.
These are great for bake sales, class parties, holiday gatherings and more. A super easy Christmas dessert recipe.
Ingredients
Brownies baked in a square pan
Premade vanilla icing
Green food coloring
Piping bag or zip top storage bag
Green decorating sugar
Christmas light sprinkles
Star sprinkles
How to Make Christmas Tree Brownies
1. Bake brownies according to package directions in a square baking pan. Allow to cool completely, then carefully remove brownies from the pan and place on a large cutting board. Cut the brownie in half, then cut triangles out of each side. Discard the four edge pieces.
2. Prepare your icing by mixing green food coloring into the premade vanilla icing until the desired color is reached. Place icing in a piping bag or zip top storage bag and pipe icing onto each brownie.
3. Top with green decorating sugar and Christmas light sprinkles. Add a star sprinkle to the top of each tree
Can I Double The Recipe for Holiday Brownies
You sure can. Use a 9×13 pan or use two 8×8 pans. I find the 8×8 size gives the perfect shape for the tree but if you only have 9×13 you can make it work.
What If I Can’t Find Christmas Light Sprinkles
If you can’t find Christmas light sprinkles use any other colorful sprinkles to mimic lights. I have even used candy coated sunflower seeds and they were so tasty. Just add on colorful sprinkles.
Do Christmas Tree Brownies Freeze Well
Yes, you can freeze these tree brownies. Simply place in an airtight container and make sure not to stack them. Then freeze up to three months. Thaw on the counter and enjoy.
The only thing with freezing and thawing is sometimes the sprinkles can leak color, so you can always wait to top with sprinkles once it is thawed.
Easy Christmas Dessert
Get creative and use different colors, or find fun toppings and let your kids make their own trees.
This is a really fun dessert kids will have fun making and tasting!
