Ingredients
Brownies
- Prepared brownies (either homemade or box mix) – enough to cut into 20 triangles
Frosting
- Your favorite frosting – about 1 cup
- Green food coloring or green gel coloring – a few drops, to desired shade
Toppings
- Mini candy canes – broken into straight pieces
- Nonpareil sprinkles – for decorating
Instructions
- Cut the Brownies: Start by cutting the prepared brownies into triangles. First, cut them in half lengthwise, then cut each half into 10 even triangles, spacing the cuts about 2 inches apart at the base.
- Color the Frosting: Place the frosting into a mixing bowl and add a few drops of green food or gel coloring. Mix thoroughly until you achieve your preferred festive green shade.
- Pipe the Frosting: Transfer the green frosting into a piping bag fitted with your chosen tip. Pipe the frosting onto each brownie triangle, starting at the base and working your way upward to create a decorative effect.
- Add Sprinkles: While the frosting is still soft, sprinkle nonpareil sprinkles over the tops of each frosted brownie to add texture and color.
- Insert Candy Canes: Break the candy canes into straight segments and gently insert them into the base of each brownie triangle to mimic peppermint sticks, completing the holiday look.
Notes
- For best results, use brownies that are fully cooled before cutting and frosting.
- Adjust the green coloring intensity according to your holiday theme preference.
- If you prefer a cream cheese frosting, you can substitute your favorite frosting accordingly.
- Mini candy canes can be substituted with crushed peppermint candies if desired.
- This recipe is great for holiday parties and is easy to scale up or down depending on your guest list.
