wax paper
candy squeeze bottle
- 1 9x13 in. prepared pan of brownies cooled - I used milk chocolate brownies
- 1 16 oz. chocolate cake frosting
- 1 12 oz. melting chocolate brown
- candy eyes
- red nonpareils - sometimes called candy pearls
- 15 candy pumpkins
- 1 7 oz. black cookie frosting
Prepare brownies in a 13x9 inch pan and cool completely
while those are cooling, prepare decorations
place wax paper on your work surface
melt chocolate melts in a glass microwavable proof bowl
pour melted chocolate into a squeeze bottle
using the squeeze bottle, start making trees onto the wax paper
Trees:
using the melted chocolate in the squeeze bottle, make a line that's about 4 inches tall going up and down on wax paper
make the line wider by continuing to go up and down on either side with more chocolate - you are making the main trunk
at the top make a large V for 2 branches, add more lines of chocolate to your brances for added thickness
make small Vs at the end of the branches
add more branches to your tree, sprouting off of the main trunk
Adding Decorations to Trees:
while chocolate trees are still warm and melted, add candy eyes - the white candy eyes to the center of the tree and the red candy eyes in the branches
when the trees have completely hardened, add black eyebrows to make the tree appear angry
Decorating brownies:
frost the brownies
either place decorations directly onto the big pan, by pushing them down into the frosted brownies
Or, cut brownies into squares and decorate them individually
Nutrition facts are only an estimate
Storing:
store brownies, covered, at room temperature for up to 3 days
Optional added decoration:
- add crushed Oreos for dirt
How many trees will you need?:
- It depends. If you just want to decorate the pan, then 4 to 5 will do. If you plan on making haunted squares, then you'll probably need at least 12
How much chocolate should I melt?
- If you are only making 5 trees, then you can probably melt 4-6 oz.
- For 1 dozen or more trees, melt the entire 12 oz. bag
