I love these brownies. I added chocolate chips in the brownie mix. I noticed it's easier to cut the brownies if you put them in the freezer for an hour. Also, it's easier to put the candy cane in the brownie on the side of the brownie that was not touching the side of the pan. I added a mini gold M&M on top for a star. You could also add different coloured smarties to make a colourful Christmas tree! Just have fun with it!
