Course: Dessert

Cuisine: American

Servings:

Line a 9x9 brownie pan with foil then coat with vegetable spray.
In a large bowl, prepare the brownie mix as directed on the box and bake as directed for a 9x9-inch pan.
Remove from oven, let cool completely, and then lift out.
Cut into three equal strips and then cut each strip into 4 triangles.
Cut candy canes into about 2-inch pieces and place them in the end of a triangle brownie.
Mix ½ can of frosting with green food coloring (about 20-25 drops).
Place frosting in a small baggie and snip the end. Starting at the top of the brownie triangle, pipe on frosting garland moving from side to side as you work down to the bottom.
Sprinkle as desired and top with a red hot candy.

Recipe Tips.

Line the pan with foil and spray it well so the brownies lift out easily.
Let the brownies cool completely before cutting so the triangles stay neat.
Use a sharp knife and wipe it clean between cuts for cleaner brownie edges.
Snip just a small corner off the baggie so the frosting garland is easier to control.
Make-ahead tip: bake and cut the brownies ahead, then decorate closer to serving so the candy and frosting look fresh.

Make ahead of time. Bake the brownies a day ahead of time, but keep them covered until you are ready to cut and add the decorations.

Store. Allow decorated brownies to set. Store in an airtight container for 2-3 days at room temperature or in a freezer bag for up to 3 months.
