Fudgy Trees

Our from-scratch bites are made extra easy, thanks to a simple glaze of melted canned chocolate frosting.

Ingredients

• ½ cup butter
• ¾ cup sugar
• 1 cup (6 oz.) dark chocolate chips
• 2 eggs
• ⅓ cup all-purpose flour
• ¼ cup unsweetened cocoa powder
• ¼ tsp. salt
• ¼ tsp. baking powder
• 1 (16 oz.) cont. dark chocolate frosting
• Green decorating icing
• Seedless raspberry jam
• Nonpareils

Instructions

1. Heat oven to 375°F. Line 9″ square baking pan with parchment paper. In pot, mix butter and sugar; over low heat, cook, stirring occasionally, until melted, 1 min. Whisk in chocolate until smooth. Transfer to bowl, whisk in eggs. Stir in flour, cocoa, salt and baking powder. Pour into pan; bake until center is just set, 18–20 min. Let cool. Chill 1 hr.
2. Trim edges. Cut brownie into three sections. Cut each section into 5 (1¾” wide) trees. Place at least 1″ apart on rack set over baking sheet. In microwave-safe bowl, microwave frosting in 15-sec. intervals, stirring, until pourable. Pour melted frosting over brownies to coat; let dry. Transfer to serving plate. Using decorating icing, pipe on tree shapes. Decorate as desired with jam and nonpareils.
