1/2 cup vegetable oil

3 tablespoons water

2 cups powdered sugar

1/2 cup butter, softened

Instructions

Prepare the brownies according to the package instructions using eggs, oil, and water. Let them cool completely.
In a bowl, mix powdered sugar, softened butter, and vanilla extract.
Add milk gradually until the frosting is smooth but thick enough to pipe.
Add green food coloring to achieve a vibrant green color.
Fit a piping bag with a Wilton 1M star tip and fill with frosting.
Use cookie cutters to cut small, medium, and large circles from the cooled brownie sheet.
Place the largest brownie circle on a plate, pipe frosting on top, stack the medium circle, pipe again, then top with the smallest circle.
Pipe a swirl of frosting on the top to complete the tree shape.
Decorate with sprinkles and top with a yellow star.
Repeat with remaining brownies.

Notes

Ensure the frosting is thick to hold the brownie layers together.

You can use a zip-top bag instead of a piping bag.

Store at room temperature for 2 days or refrigerate for up to 5 days.

Do not reheat assembled trees as frosting may melt.

Try different toppings like mini M&Ms or coconut for variety.
