Method
- Preheat oven according to brownie box instructions and spray 9-inch springform pan with oil.
- Mix both brownie mixes together and pour into prepared springform pan.
- Bake according to package directions until toothpick comes out clean (may take 5-10 minutes longer than box suggests for double batch).
- Let brownies cool completely in pan (about 45 minutes to 1 hour), then release from springform and place on cutting board.
- Cut brownie round into 8 equal triangular wedges.
- In separate small bowls, mix white frosting with red gel coloring and green gel coloring to desired shades.
- Fill three icing bags fitted with star tips with red, green, and white frosting.
- For Christmas trees: pipe green frosting in rows from bottom to top creating tree shape, add white pearl sprinkles and gold stars. For Santa hats: pipe red triangle covering most of brownie, add white frosting trim along bottom edge and white pom-pom at tip.
- Let decorated brownies sit 15-20 minutes before serving to allow frosting to set slightly.
Notes
Store decorated brownies in airtight container at room temperature for 2-3 days. Can freeze unfrosted brownies for up to 3 months. Amount of frosting needed depends on thickness of decorating layer. Use gel food coloring for vibrant colors without thinning frosting.
