Calories 72kcal
Ingredients
- 1 box brownie mix I used Duncan Hines Chewy Fudge
- 3 large eggs
- ½ cup vegetable oil
- ¼ cup water
- 2 cans vanilla frosting I used Duncan Hines
- 16 small pretzel twists
- 8 red candies
- 8 small candy canes
- 8 pretzel sticks
- food coloring
- sprinkles
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F. Line a 13" x 9" pan with parchment paper, letting the paper hang over edges slightly. Set aside.
- Prepare brownie mix according to package instructions (using 3 eggs, ½ cup of oil and ¼ cup water). Pour into prepared pan. Bake as directed. (I baked it for 23 minutes.) Let cool.
- Meanwhile, divide frosting into 4 bowls. Color one orange, one green, one brown and leave the other white. (Note: You will need the most green frosting and white frosting. You only need a small amount of brown and orange.)
- Cut cooled brownies into 24 triangles. Decorate 8 snowmen using white frosting body, brown frosing hat and eyes, plus orange nose. Add a pretzel stick for the hat brim. For the 8 Christmas Trees, pipe a zig zag line of green frosting (using a pastry bag with #16 tip or a zip-top bag with a tiny corner cut), add sprinkles and a candy cane stem. Lastly, make 8 Reindeers by attaching two pretzel antlers with brown frosting. Add candy eyes and nose with brown frosting (to make them stick).
- Store covered for up to 3 days.
