• When are they done?
• These brownies are thick, so they take a bit longer to bake. Once you start to smell the aroma of your brownies, check on them. A toothpick inserted into the middle should come out mostly clean. What I mean by that is; you shouldn't have a wet batter on the toothpick. You will probably find cooked batter will adhere to the toothpick and that's ok

Decorating

• Let the brownies cool completely - about 15 minutes
• Pull the aluminum foil up and out of the pie pan
• Push the aluminum foil down away from the brownies
• Let the brownies completely cool
• Slice each set of brownies into 8-10 slices
• Using the star tip, decorate the bottom of the slice and the top with your white frosting stars to resemble a Santa Hat
• Cover and store leftover brownies at room temperature up to one week.
