Ingredients

Brownies

½ cup (113 g) unsalted butter melted
½ cup (99 g) granulated sugar
½ cup (106 g) brown sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla
2 large eggs
¾ cup (90 g) all purpose flour
½ cup (42 g) cocoa powder
½ teaspoon salt

Decorations

3 ounces (85 g) white chocolate melting wafers or chocolate chips
sprinkles and mini m&m's optional decorations

Instructions

Brownies

Preheat oven to 350℉. Line an 8x8 baking pan with parchment paper and set aside.
In a large bowl, add melted butter, sugars, vanilla, and eggs. Stir until fully combined. Set aside.
In a separate bowl, sift together the dry ingredients: flour, cocoa powder, and salt. Slowly add to butter mixture and stir until fully incorporated.
Pour brownie batter into lined 8x8 pan and bake for about 19-23 minutes, or until toothpick inserted into the center comes out with dry crumbs.
Remove brownies from oven and allow to cool completely. Remove from pan and cut brownies in half. Slice a thin wedge from the edges of each rectangle (about 1 inch on the top, tapering down to the bottom corner). Then, carefully slice brownies into 14 tall triangles (each tree has a 2 inch wide base). Use the photos in the post above as a visual aid.
Arrange brownie trees onto a piece of wax paper or parchment to be decorated.

Decorations

In a small bowl, microwave white chocolate wafers (or chocolate chips) in 30 second increments, stirring until melted and smooth.
Using a spoon, drizzle chocolate across brownies. Optionally, add sprinkles and mini M&M's candies. Allow chocolate to harden before moving or storing.

Notes

Storage: Brownies will keep for 3-4 days in a sealed container at room temperature.
Cocoa: Dutch cocoa can be substituted with natural cocoa powder.
