1 Heat oven to 350°F (325°F for dark or nonstick pan). Line 9-inch square pan with foil so foil extends about 2 inches over sides of pan. Grease bottom only of foil with cooking spray or shortening.
2 Make and bake brownie mix as directed on box. Cool completely, about 1 1/2 hours. Remove brownie from pan by lifting foil; peel foil away. To cut brownie into triangles, cut into 3 rows. Cut each row into 5 triangles, see diagram. Save smaller pieces for snacking.
3 Stir food color into frosting. Spoon frosting into small resealable food-storage plastic bag; partially seal bag. Cut off tiny bottom corner of bag. Squeeze bag to pipe frosting over brownies. Sprinkle with decors.
4 Break off curved end of candy cane; insert straight piece into bottoms of triangles to make tree trunks.

These are great, but don't forget the foil step. It's very important!

"Holiday" trees? Is there more than one holiday that decorates trees? In red and green, no less.

My family loved these brownies. I added chocolate chips in the brownie mix. I noticed it's easier to cut the brownies if you put them in the freezer for an hour. Also, it's easier to put the candy cane in the brownie on the side of the brownie that was not touching the side of the pan. I added a mini gold M&M on top for a star.
