Ingredients
Units
Scale
- 1 (9x13-inch) pan of prepared and cooled brownies (use a mix or your favorite recipe)
- 1/2-2/3 cup red cupcake icing or frosting (we used the tube of icing since red frosting wasn’t available)
- 1/3 cup vanilla frosting
Equipment:
- Piping bag
- Wilton #22 tip
- Sharp knife
Instructions
- Cut the pan of brownies in half lengthwise, then cut each small row into 7 triangles. The ends will not be used.
- Arrange the triangle brownies on a baking sheet or tray.
- Pipe the red frosting onto each brownie, starting from ½ inch under the tip of the triangle until ½ inch before the bottom, moving in a back-and-forth motion. Use the star tip that came with the icing (or the same Wilton #22 tip if using frosting).
- Add the vanilla frosting to a piping bag with the Wilton #22 tip and pipe a dot on the tip of the Santa hat, then a line at the bottom.
Notes
- Make sure the brownies are completely cooled before frosting.
- Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
- For the best presentation, chill for 15 minutes before serving.
