Time 2h45m

Yield 15

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 box (16 oz) Betty Crocker™ Supreme original brownie mix
Water, vegetable oil and egg called for on brownie mix box
Miniature candy canes (2 inch), unwrapped
1 or 2 drops green food color
1/3 cup Betty Crocker™ Rich & Creamy vanilla frosting (from 16-oz container)
Betty Crocker™ Decorating Decors red and green candy sprinkles or miniature candy-coated chocolate baking bits

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 350°F (325°F for dark or nonstick pan). Line 9-inch square pan with foil, allowing some to hang over edges of pan. Grease bottom and sides of foil with shortening or cooking spray. Make brownie mix batter as directed on box. Spread in pan.
  • Bake 28 to 31 minutes or until toothpick inserted 2 inches from side of pan comes out almost clean. Cool completely on cooling rack, about 1 1/2 hours. Freeze in pan 15 minutes. Using foil to lift, remove brownies from pan, and peel foil away. To cut brownie into triangles, cut into 3 rows. Cut each row into 5 triangles (See More About This Recipe). Set aside leftover pieces for snacking.
  • Break off curved end of candy cane; insert straight piece into bottoms of triangles to make tree trunks.
  • Stir food color into frosting. Spoon frosting into small resealable food-storage plastic bag; partially seal bag. Cut off tiny bottom corner of bag. Squeeze bag to pipe frosting over brownies. Sprinkle with decors.

I'm not sure about the peppermint frosting. I might try making these brownies with a different frosting instead.

These brownies were a bit dry. I think I overbaked them.

I had some trouble getting the brownies out of the pan. I think I should have greased it more.

I'm not a big fan of peppermint, so I omitted the frosting. The brownies were still delicious without it.
