• Preheat oven to 350
• Line the mini muffin pans (I use this Wilton pan) with paper cups. If you’re making them for a special occasion, be sure to use cute mini cupcake liners.
• In a large bowl, combine the brownie mix, eggs, oil, and water. Stir until well combined.
• Pour the brownie batter into the baking cups about ¾ of the way.
• Bake for about 10-12 minutes, or until done.

To Make the Frosting

• In a stand mixer, whip the butter until it’s soft and fluffy (about 1 minute)
• Set the mixer speed to slow and slowly mix in the powdered sugar.
• Add vanilla and heavy cream.
• Gradually increase speed to medium/high and let it mix for about 2 minutes.
• Set aside ⅓ of the frosting and use the food coloring gel to tint the remaining frosting to your liking.

To Decorate the Brownies

• Add the colored frosting to a piping bag with a star tip.
• Add a teaspoon of white frosting to the brownie bite.
  
• Dip into shredded coconut.
  
• Pipe a tree shape with the green frosting to the center. Start by swirling a wider base then as you pull up, get smaller.
