Decorating the Brownie<\/h2>\n
Once brownies are cooled, cut out isosceles triangles. Pipe on the royal icing by starting at the top of the tree, gently squeeze the icing out of the bag moving in a curvy zigzag as you go down\u00a0the tree\u00a0and decorate with M&Ms. For the tree trunk I used straws.<\/p>\n
