Brownies Christmas Trees

Ingredients

  • Brownie mix 
  • 1.5 sticks of butter, softened 
  • 4 cups powdered sugar 
  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

  • Pinch kosher salt 
  • Green food coloring

  1. In a large bowl beat butter until smooth. Add powdered sugar and beat until combined, then add vanilla, heavy cream, and salt. (If you desire a thinner consistency, add 1 more tablespoon cream.) Add green food coloring until desired color is reached. Transfer to a piping bag with a small open star tip. 
  1. Remove brownie from pan and cut into 3 long rows, then cut each row into 6 triangles each for a total of 18 triangles. 
  1. Cut candy canes and insert into the bottom of each brownie to create a trunk.
