Ingredients

Cooking spray

1 box brownie mix, plus ingredients called for on box

3/4 c. (1 1/2 sticks) butter, softened

4 c. powdered sugar

1 tsp. pure vanilla extract

2 tbsp. heavy cream 

Pinch kosher salt

Green food coloring

6 candy canes

Sprinkles, for decorating

Preparation

Step 1Preheat oven to 350°. Line a 9”-x-13” with parchment, leaving a 2” overhang on the long sides and grease with cooking spray. Make brownie mix according to package directions. Pour batter into prepared pan and bake until a toothpick inserted in middle of pan comes out with a few moist crumbs, 25 to 30 minutes. Let cool completely. Step 2In a large bowl using a hand mixer or in the bowl of a stand mixer using the paddle attachment, 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 small open star tip. Step 3Remove brownie from pan and cut into 3 long rows, then cut each row into 6 triangles each for a total of 18 triangles. Step 4Cut candy canes into 3” long pieces and insert into the bottom of each brownie to create a trunk. Step 5Pipe a zigzagging line on top of brownie and top with sprinkles for ornaments.
