Ingredients
- 2 boxes brownie mix
- 4 large eggs (or per box instructions)
- 1 cup vegetable oil (or per box instructions)
- 1/2 cup water (or per box instructions)
- 1 1/2 to 2 cups white frosting
- Red food coloring
- Green food coloring
- White pearl sprinkles
- Edible gold stars
Instructions
- Preheat the oven according to the brownie box instructions (typically 350°F / 175°C).
- Spray a 9-inch springform pan with nonstick spray.
- Mix both boxes of brownie mix with eggs, oil, and water as directed on the packaging until smooth.
- Pour the batter into the prepared pan and bake for 40–55 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out mostly clean.
- Allow the brownie to cool completely before removing from the springform pan.
- Place the cooled brownie on a cutting board and slice into 8 equal triangle wedges.
- Divide the white frosting into three bowls. Leave one white, color one with red food coloring, and one with green.
- Transfer each frosting color to its own piping bag with desired tips.
- Decorate brownies: use green frosting for Christmas trees with pearl sprinkles and gold stars, and red/white for Santa hats.
- Serve immediately or store in an airtight container until ready to serve.
Notes
- Use only one box of mix if you prefer thinner brownies and shorter bake time.
- Natural food dyes can be used as alternatives to red and green coloring.
- Let brownies cool fully before frosting to avoid melting.
- Substitute decorations based on availability or preference.
