Christmas Tree Brownies
Nothing says Christmas like a bauble laden tree but better yet, we’ve made ours edible! We didn’t think pine would taste great in a brownie, so we’ve made them chocolate orange flavoured. Get the whole family involved with decorating their own trees – don’t forget the star on top!
Orange flavoured chocolate, chopped
Vegetable oil
Light brown soft sugar
Eggs
Self-raising flour
To decorate
Coloured icing tubes
Sprinkles
Lolly pop sticks
You will also need...
20cm (8in) square tin, lined with baking parchment
Step 1 of 5
Preheat the oven to 180°C (160°C for fan ovens) or Gas Mark 4. Scoop the caramel into a microwavable bowl and tip in 200g of the chopped chocolate. Microwave on full power for 30 seconds, stir and repeat. Pour in the oil and sugar and mix well.
Step 2 of 5
Gently mix in the eggs and then fold in the flour. Stir into a smooth glossy consistency, then tip in the remaining chopped chocolate. Mix well and pour into the lined baking tray.
Step 3 of 5
Place in the centre of the oven and bake for 40-45 minutes until firm to the touch and a thin papery top has formed on the brownies. If you insert a skewer it should come out clean or with a sticky crumb rather than wet brownie mixture.
Step 4 of 5
Once the brownies have cooled completely (you can pop them into the fridge to speed this bit up!), use a sharp knife to cut them into triangles. Push a lolly pop stick into the bottom of each triangle to form the Christmas tree shape.
Step 5 of 5
Using the icing tubes and sprinkles, decorate the brownie Christmas trees with as much sparkle as you want!
