Ingredients
  

  • 1 Box of Brownie Mix
  • 2 eggs
  • cup water
  • cup vegetable oil
  • 12 ounces of white chocolate divided
  • Green food coloring
  • Holiday sprinkles
  • Star sprinkles

Instructions
 

  • Start by lining a 13x9" pan with parchment paper and spray with cooking oil. Set aside.
  • Mix the brownie mix, egg, water and vegetable oil in a large bowl until well combined. Then pour into your prepared baking pan.
  • Bake at 325 for 21-23 minutes (use a fork to determine if they are done). Once baked, remove brownies from the oven and let cool completely.
  • Place brownies in the freezer for 30 minutes to get hard.
  • Remove the parchment paper and brownies from the pan and place on a hard surface such as a cutting board.
  • Using a circle cookie cutter, cut brownies out and place on a baking sheet that has been lined with parchment paper. You can also cut them into triangle, tree shapes if you prefer.
  • Divide the white chocolate into two bowls with 6 ounces in each (one bowl you will want to keep white and the
    other you will dye green).
  • One bowl at a time, heat the chocolate in 30 second increments until melted and then transfer to a
    zippered bag and cut the tip off (start with the white so it can dry).
  • Drizzle white chocolate on the lower 1/2 of the brownie to create snow.
  • Melt the other bowl of white chocolate and add about 4-6 drops of green food dye. You can also use green candy melts and melt those the same way.
  • Transfer to a zippered bag and cut the tip off.
  • Create a tree with the green chocolate and then sprinkle with holiday sprinkles and top with a star.
  • Let cool completely before serving!

Notes

  • If you need more than 10 brownies, you could make two batches of brownies and probably have enough chocolate to decorate them. I added extra to be sure I had enough.
  • Make sure you use oil-based coloring to color the chocolate. Water based food coloring will cause the chocolate to seize. You can also use green candy melts and melt and drizzle those instead.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container to avoid them from getting hard.
  • You can heat these in the microwave for about 15-20 seconds and top with ice cream for a warm treat.
