Equipment

  • To make these Christmas Tree Brownies, I used a few basic kitchen tools:
  • Baking pan (9x13 inches)
  • Mixing bowls
  • Electric mixer or whisk
  • Spatula
  • Sharp knife
  • Cooling rack
  • Make sure to gather everything before starting.

Ingredients
  

Here's what I used to make the delicious brownies:

  • 1 cup unsalted butter melted
  • 2 cups sugar
  • 1 cup cocoa powder
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 4 large eggs
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt

I found that these ingredients are easy to get at any grocery store.

Instructions
 

Let's bake these tasty trees! Follow these simple steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
  • Mix melted butter, sugar, and cocoa powder in a bowl.
  • Add vanilla extract, then beat in eggs one at a time.
  • Fold in flour and salt until just combined.
  • Pour the batter into the greased pan.
  • Bake for 25-30 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean.
  • Cool on a rack, then carefully cut into triangles.
  • Decorate with green icing, sprinkles, and add pretzel trunks.

These steps are simple and fun. Decorating is my favorite part! 🎨

    Notes

    Here are some tips I found helpful:
    Make sure the brownies are completely cool before decorating.
    Use a sharp knife to get clean triangle shapes.
    The green icing can be homemade or store-bought, whichever is easier for you.
    Store in an airtight container to keep them fresh longer.
    I hope these notes help you make the perfect Christmas Tree Brownies. Enjoy spreading the holiday cheer with these sweet treats! 🎁
