Last weekend my love for baking returned and I made these adorable and delicious (if I do say so myself!) Christmas Tree Toblerone Brownies. I was originally going to make normal brownies and decorate them similar to last years Christmas Tree brownie effort but I decided to go that extra mile and make something a bit prettier this year. I decided to add in the Toblerone last minute after I remember I had put some away for Christmas, (score!) this gave the brownies a really lovely, chunkier texture and Toblerone infused throughout really made them mouth-wateringly good.
These were super simple to make, even if they did seem to take an age thanks to my perfectionist nature! I did some 'lazy girl' baking and used a Betty Crocker brownie mix to make the brownies, (tut, tut I know but I only decided to bake last minute - so spontaneous) I then cut up bits of Toblerone and put them in the blender to make them a lot smaller and smoother. I folded them into the brownie mixture and poured it into a parchment paper covered tray. I baked them for twenty minutes at 180 degrees. When done I took them out of the tray, left them on the parchment paper and put them on a wire rack to cool down.
I had some green fondant icing left over from Halloween so I rolled it out with a rolling pin until it was quite thin. I then used my Christmas tree shaped cookie cutter to cut out the Christmas tree shapes. When the brownies were cool I used the same cookie cutter to cut out little brownie Christmas trees. I then cut up some red and white candy canes and stuck them in the end of the brownies to make stands for the Christmas trees. I then placed the green fondant icing on top of the brownies to create little green Christmas trees. I then used yellow and pink (I had no red) glitter icing tubes to create the look of tinsel and lights on the tree. I then stuck on gold balls for stars and silver ones around the trees to give the look of baubles. Finally I sprinkled some red candy bits over the trees to give the look of decorations on the trees - it really was that simple!
I think these Christmas tree brownies look far more complicated then they actually are. They were absolutely delicious and I'll definitely be making more of these for Christmas and giving some to my relatives, I think they're so pretty. I think these Christmas tree brownies are proof that even 'lazy baking' can make tasty sweet treats too!
these look so delicious and so pretty!
Oh, How lovely do these look? Great post they look so lovely. I may have a go at making these myself although I am sure they would look as good as yours. Pinned @umeandthekids

This looks delicious and so yummy, I did not know you could bake (hids face) since have not seen baking posts before or maybe when you did them I didnt get a chance to visit (which is unusual as I have you in my google feed). Anyway these look delicious and tis the season, love the decorating
Thank you so much Myrabev! I love baking, I gave it up for a few months though when I began my healthy living and diet journey - resisting temptation and all that. I have a recipes tab on the top of my blog though, you can see other things I've baked there if you're interested 🙂
Oh my god these looks amazing!! Toblerone brownies?! My partner would be in heaven when I tell him!! I'm not the greatest at baking but I'm going to give this a shot 🙂

I certainly shall, I am just getting my groove back with being in the kitchen again so I understand. Now all we need if for you to post these to me in the mainland and we good lol
These look very fancy and delicious! I bet they taste fantastic and are fun to make with kids. Plus my husband is crazy for brownies so he would especially love these. 🙂 I really like the decorative balls as tree decorations - nice touch!
Umm, can I just tel you how much I love Toblerone? I used to buy it every time we went to the airport (the only place I knew where it was sold back then) and ask for it whenever someone else went to the airport. 😛 These brownies sound perfect.
Not me. I would think, "nom nom nom", and then proceed to eat it. =D
Woah... these look epic... so clever!
These look beautiful and really yummy! Brownies are our favorite dessert. You're right though they do look really complicated and I can be pretty ocd about how pretty food turns out. Especially if you're taking photos for the blog! 😉
Wow. These are the most adorablest treats. You did a terrific job of decorating. Brownies are my favorite dessert. This is a must make!
These look absolutely scrumptious! I love the candy cane trunk! So creative!
These are so adorable and look so yummy! I am going to have to try my hand at these beauties! Thanks so much for sharing this!
Wow! I'm blown away by how gorgeous these are! I could never decorate that precisely.
Wow, very impressive. That sure would make a wonderful spread for the in-laws... it would be like I knew what I was doing or something. bwahahahaha I have a recipe linky on Friday if you would like to share what you did. 🙂 Have a great day.
I've always wanted to try something cute like this for Christmas parties! You did an amazing job <3
These are absolutely gorgeous! I'm not sure I could bring myself to eat them! (But they also look delicious, so I'd probably have issues with convincing myself not to. sigh!) Thank you for sharing this recipe! <3
wow!!! i love this beatuiful brownies!
Very pretty, and I rarely say that about brownies. I love all the baking this time of year.
These are so cute. I bet I could make them with my kids as well!
These absolutely beautiful! I love Toblerone--I bet it's delicious when you add it to brownies (which are already pretty delicious to start!). 🙂
These look incredible! Beautiful presentation!
These are so cute! I also love Toblerone! I need to try!!
My kids would love those
Carmen Perez: Oh I am loving these for Christmas treats. They're very original, gonna make them this weekend!
Oh my goodness! These brownies look amazing! How cute!
These look so cute and delicious. I will have to add it to my make list for my Christmas tins.
Wow these look amazing! These might have to go on my baking list.
These look professionally decorated like wow! They came out beautiful and look delicious!
These look really yummy. I may have to make some for the kids.
Oh my goodness. These are so cute! Never thought of toblerone to add into a recipe. Great idea!
WOW...there is a lot going on with those brownies and they look so nicely decorated. I had to laugh to myself when I read your statement of the trees might 'look far more complicated then they actually are' because I was thinking the same exact thing to myself. They came out very nicely, and looks like you spent a lot of time on them. The icing looks really different too...almost shimmering.
Wow, these are so cute! This would be great as a gift too! If only I could bake.... Is it easy to make? I want to try this.
I had my first Toblerone in Paris and fell in love. I can't believe they're in these cookies. YUM!
Wow, such a neat dessert and it doesn't sound as though it was overly complicated. I like the cutter cutter idea, although I'm sure the same thing could be done (in a way) to make presents...if no one has a cutter on hand.
Ohhh, these are so pretty! I love how sweet they turned out, and I bet they're pretty darn delicious too!
They're so sparkly! I love them. They seem fun to share too.
They are beautiful! I always loved making snacks like these with my kiddos when they were little. Lovely idea!
These look amazing! So yummy and easy!
OMG! I haven't tasted it yet but I just know this is soo yummy!
Those are cute. I like the candy cane for the trunk, that's a nice touch.
Haha! I think then you should make more batches as you could devour everything before Christmas! I went to try this yesterday but mine looked awful. =(
That is wildly creative and cute! I would had never thought of that.
From the look of it I know it tastes delicious. Believe me I know.
Those are really mouth watering! Manu Kalia is right, I bet this is so yummy! 🙂
yumm! This looks amazing. I love the glittering icing!
These look absolutely delicious! I really enjoy how you made each one look identical yet unique to the next one.I love the tree shapes, such beautiful images. I really enjoy the little candy dots you put on as well as the icing. The colors go on beautifully together! I love the glittering icing as well 🙂 What a great winter type of glow to it!
Forget about the gorgeous looking dessert you made (and I do mean they look good). I bet they would be freakin' delicious!
These are looking great! Congratulation!
