Ingredients

Scale

Brownies

2 boxes of brownie mix or a double batch of homemade brownies

Frosting and Decorations

1–3 jars of white frosting
Edible gel food coloring (alternative: no artificial dye food coloring)
Edible gold stars
White pearl sprinkles
Icing bags
Frosting tips

Instructions

Prepare Brownies: Bake 2 boxes of brownie mix or prepare a double batch of your favorite homemade brownies according to the recipe or package instructions. Allow the brownies to cool completely before decorating.
Color the Frosting: Divide the white frosting into portions as desired. Use edible gel food coloring to tint each portion to your preferred festive colors, ensuring vibrant and even hues.
Fill Icing Bags: Fit your chosen frosting tips onto the icing bags and carefully fill them with the colored frosting mixtures.
Decorate the Brownies: Using the prepared icing bags, pipe frosting onto the cooled brownies in creative festive designs resembling Christmas themes such as trees, stars, or swirls.
Add Edible Decorations: While the frosting is still soft, gently press edible gold stars and white pearl sprinkles onto the frosting to enhance the holiday appearance.
Set and Serve: Allow the decorated brownies to set at room temperature so the frosting firms slightly before slicing and serving.

Notes

For a healthier alternative, consider using natural food colorings or homemade frosting recipes with less sugar.
Ensure brownies are fully cooled before frosting to prevent melting or sliding of decorations.
You can customize the colors and decoration styles to match your holiday theme or party palette.
Store frosted brownies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days for best freshness.
For easier piping, keep frosting at room temperature and slightly soften if refrigerated prior to use.
