Recipe + How To in description! Christmas tree brownies 🎄

Bake your favorite boxed brownies according to the package directions—Ghirardelli is my favorite! Let cool completely, then cut into triangles. Use store-bought buttercream or make this easy vanilla buttercream for one pan of brownies: • ½ cup unsalted butter, softened • 2 cups powdered sugar • 1 tsp vanilla extract • 1–2 tbsp milk or heavy cream • Pinch of salt • Green gel food coloring Beat the butter until fluffy, then gradually mix in the powdered sugar. Add vanilla, salt, and 1 tbsp milk or cream. Beat until smooth, adding a little more milk as needed for a thick, pipeable frosting. Mix in green food coloring. Break a candy cane in half and gently stick the straight end into the bottom of each brownie to make a trunk. Pipe frosting back and forth, starting wide at the bottom and narrowing toward the top. Decorate with your favorite Christmas sprinkles! Save this for your holiday baking and follow for more easy recipes! #easyrecipe #holidaydessert
