Try this adorable sweet treat with your little ones! First step, make a batch of brownies, it doesn't matter what kind - just your favorite! We recommend making them in a round cake pan. After they are baked and completely cooled off, you will cut them into triangles, making them into a tree shape. From here, you can add whatever toppings you would like to decorate your “trees” with. This is where you can let your kids decorate and get creative! The final step is to use a knife or skewer to poke a small hole in the bottom of the brownie. Break off a small piece of your candy canes and insert into the “trunk” of your tree. These sweet treats are so fun and cute and make a perfect snack for your little ones!
