Christmas brownies are far away from your typical brownies. These brownies have a beautiful decoration to make them the perfect Christmas baked delight. They are the best Christmas gift for people who love sugar, chocolate and, of course, Christmas.

You can make your Christmas brownies any way you like. Top them with candy canes or add whipped cream to make them look like a present. But my favorite is the Christmas tree-shaped brownies. I just love making them and hopefully, you’ll love them too.

To make Christmas brownies, melt chocolate and butter in a pan. Stir in vanilla extract and put them in the bowl of a standing mixer. To this, add sugars, eggs and sour cream and mix. Mix flour, cocoa powder, baking soda and salt in a bowl. Add this to the mixing bowl and prepare the batter. Bake the brownies and decorate with chocolate and sprinkles.

Transform your chocolate brownies to malted chocolate brownies by adding some malt powder into the mix. Don’t have malt powder? Here are the best malt powder substitutes.
