1: (19.5-oz.) pkg. fudge brownie mix

1/2: cup oil

1/4: cup water

1: cup miniature semisweet chocolate-coated candy pieces for baking (from 12-oz. pkg.)

Steps

1 Heat oven to 350°F. Line 13x9-inch pan with foil, extending foil over sides of pan. Grease foil. In large bowl, combine brownie mix, oil, water and eggs; beat 50 strokes with spoon. Stir in 1 cup candy baking pieces. Spread batter in greased foil-lined pan.
2 Bake at 350°F. for 31 to 33 minutes or until set. DO NOT OVERBAKE. Cool 30 minutes or until completely cooled. Freeze brownies 30 minutes.
3 Using foil, lift brownies from pan; place on cutting board. To cut tree shape from brownies, start at center of 1 short side and make 2 diagonal cuts to corners of opposite short side, forming a triangular piece in center. (See diagram.)
4 Add green food color to can of vanilla frosting; stir to combine. Place 2 brownie side pieces together on foil-lined serving tray to form tree shape. Spread 1/3 cup frosting over top of tree shape. Top with whole tree shape; trim if necessary to line up edges.
