Servings: 10 people
Equipment
- 1 set of piping bags
- 1 square baking pan
- 1 sheet parchment paper
Ingredients
- 1 package of brownie mix
- 2 cups red icing (about one container of store bought)
- 1 cup white icing
Instructions
- Preheat your oven according to the instructions on the box of brownies you use.
- Prepare a square (or rectangular) baking pan by lining it with a piece of parchment paper.
- Prepare your brownie batter mix according to the instructions on the box and then pour into the prepared baking pan.
- Bake the brownies according to the package instructions (about 35 to 40 minutes).
- Remove the brownies from the oven and allow to cool completely.
- Carefully remove the brownies from the pan. If you used parchment paper, you can pull it out gently on the sides.
- Gently flip the brownies upside down onto a cutting board so the side that was down in the pan faces up.
- You can slice the edges off brownies for a cleaner look or leave them intact.
- Make either 1 to 2 paralle cuts across the entire width of the brownies, making two to three equal sized rows.
- Using a sharp knife, make a cut at the end of the first row of brownies at a sharp angle. It should form a half-Santa hat shape between your cut and the edge of the brownies.
- Remove the half-hat and eat it now or give it to the kids.
- Make a second angle cut to form a triangle shaped or Santa hat brownie.
- Following the pattern of angles, keep cutting out Santa hat shaped brownies until you reach the other end. You can also save, eat, or feed the other end to the kids.
- Repeat this process for each row, until you have made all the brownies, except for the ends, into Santa hat shapes.
- Spread your red icing over all but the bottom edge and tip of each triangle. Decorate the bottom of the brownie for an easier time spreading the icing. Repeat for each triangle.
- Spread the white icing over the tips and bottom edges of each brownie, finishing the red and white Santa hats.
- You can now add additional sprinkles, marshmallows, candy canes, or other festive candies to make the Santa hat brownies your own.
