Mini Christmas tree brownie bites

A few years ago I was driving to my favorite restaurant near Christmas. This one family had already blew up there decorations and they had this giant Christmas tree.So under neath that was a bunch of blow up presents.One of them said brownies on it. All the sudden I was craving a brownie so when I got to the resturaunt I ordered 3 to take home.Anyway I had an idea for Christmas tree brownie.So I looked for a recipe and I came along this one from crazy for crust.I loved the idea of little bites and all the colors you can eat the whole thing in one bite.It is really yummy when you have a chocolate brownie with icing and chocolate candys. It is like a small bite but there are so many yummy elements that they all combine so you have all the heaven in one.Now you can be holly and jolly and give everybody some spirit.If you have a Crismas party at somebody's house that is not your house you can not bring a whole Christmas tree with you.But this is like you are cutting your Christmas tree in like a ton of little pieces but it still has cut little candy lies on each.So ENJOY and HAPPY HOLIDAYS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Ingredients-
1 box brownie mix , plus ingredients listed to make the brownies
Green candy melts, about a package for a full brownie mix
Candy coated sunflower seeds or other small colored candy for lights
Yellow candy melts or small yellow gumdrops for stars
Brownie Pop Pan
Directions-
   Mix brownies according to package directions.  Spray your brownie pop pan liberally with cooking spray and fill each cavity 2/3 full of brownie mix. Bake 18-20 minutes. Let cool for about 10 minutes before removing from pan. Cool completely before dipping. 
  First, melt your green candy melts in microwave safe bowl. (If you’re having trouble getting a smooth consistency, try adding a teaspoon or two of vegetable oil.) Place the brownie tree in the green melted candy and cover completely. Scoop up with a fork and tap off the excess candy. Place on a wax-paper lined cookie sheet.
 Use a toothpick to scrape up the sides of the brownie a little, to make it look more like it has tree branches. Randomly place your candy-coated sunflower seeds or other small candy around the tree like lights. Chill until hardened.
      Next, melt your yellow candy melts (you won’t need very many). Place melted yellow candy in a ziploc sandwich bag. Seal and snip off one corner. Draw stars with the yellow candy onto waxed paper and chill until firm. (Alternately, you can use yellow gumdrops for this step.)
.       Remove brownie trees and stars from refrigerator. Using a little melted yellow candy, attach the stars to the trees.
Serve and enjoy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
