How to Make Christmas Tree Brownie Bites
Full directions and measurements for this dish are in the printable recipe card below. These step-by-step photos and instructions are here to help you visualize how to make this recipe.
Prepare 2 mini muffin tins and spoon in brownie batter. Fill each well about ½ way full.
Bake for approximately 12 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Remove brownies from the oven and using a teaspoon push the bottom into the center of the brownie, creating an indent. Allow brownies to cool and remove from the pan
Using a microwave-safe bowl add white chocolate and heat in 30-second increments, stirring in between until chocolate is fully melted.
Dip the brownies topside down into the chocolate and then immediately add your sprinkles. You can get creative with all kinds of designs.
Using a piping bag, pipe the trees onto the brownies creating your Christmas Tree. If your frosting is not holding its shape well pop it into the refrigerator for about 10 minutes to allow it to set up some and it will hold a tree shape better once piped. Decorate with mini candies and additional sprinkles and enjoy!
Storage
Store the brownie bites in the fridge for up to three days. Storing in the fridge will keep your frosting from falling and spreading, and help it retain the Christmas tree shape.
Tips
- If you do not have green frosting on hand you can use vanilla frosting and green food coloring.
- Use food coloring gel instead of liquid food coloring for your green frosting. The liquid food coloring will make your frosting too runny to stand up.
- If your frosting is too thin place the piping bag in the fridge for about 10 to 15 minutes and it will firm up.
- Use any sprinkles that you prefer. I like using a couple of different types of sprinkles.
Substitutions and Variations
Brownie Bites – In a hurry? Use store brought brownie bites and then frost them in the shape of a Christmas Tree as I did.
Coconut – Dust the frosting in shredded coconut for a fresh snow look. I would use sweetened coconut if you decide to do this.
Topping – Use a yellow M&M or a star-shaped yellow sprinkle for the topping if you want a traditional Christmas Tree look.
