Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.

Line the bottom and sides of a 9x13 baking pan with parchment paper and set aside.

Melt butter and chocolate using a double boiler.

Stir in sugar, then vanilla extract and eggs.

Gradually stir in flour and salt until combined.

Pour into prepared baking pan and bake for 30-35 minutes until tooth pick inserted in the center of brownies come out clean.

While your brownies are cooling get your icing ready. If you are making homemade make it and color it green with the food coloring. If you are using store bought frosting color it green right in the container.

Then while your brownies are continuing to cool, get your candy canes ready. Break your candy canes into 1 inch pieces and set aside.

Get your pastry bag, or zip lock bag if you don't have a pastry bag to use. Then fill it with your frosting, set your frosting bag aside until you are ready to start decorating your Christmas Tree Brownies.

Cut your brownies in rows of three length and then cut triangles in the shape of a Christmas tree out of each row. If you have a triangle shaped cookie cutter you can also use that to cut your brownies in to triangles.

Starting at the top of the triangle zigzag the frosting on the way down to the bottom and repeat this with each brownie.

Once all of your Christmas tree brownies have icing, decorate them using M&Ms, other small candy or sprinkles. Then top off the top of your brownie Christmas tree with a star at the top.

Let the frosting set and then stick a piece of candy cane into the bottom of each brownies Christmas tree.
