I guess it's a common complaint, but they just didn't look good when I made them. I had parts of the brownie break off or stick to the pan in places, and no one understood that they were supposed to be trees.

Made these for my daughter's 12th birthday party. I cut out the trees ahead of time and let the kids frost and decorate them with mini m&m's, sprinkles, and reeses pieces. Kept them busy for a while and when they were finished - had them instead of cake with a side of ice cream!! Great treat!

Awesome Idea. Very Cute. I do suggest to use a different type of brownie mix. When the brownies were done baking it was too thick and fell to pieces because it was so moist. I could'nt even get the brownies out of the pan. If you use a different brownie mix It will turn out wonderful.
