# Step-by-Step Guide:
01 - Preheat oven to 350°F (180°C). Line an 8x8-inch square baking pan with parchment paper.
02 - Melt butter in a small saucepan or microwave and allow to cool slightly.
03 - Whisk melted butter and sugar together in a bowl until combined. Add eggs and vanilla extract, whisking until smooth.
04 - Sift in flour, cocoa powder, and salt. Fold gently until just combined, avoiding overmixing.
05 - Pour batter into prepared pan and spread evenly. Bake for 20 to 25 minutes until the center is set but fudgy. Allow to cool completely in pan.
06 - Cut cooled brownies into 12 equal squares.
07 - Tint melted white chocolate with green gel food coloring in a small bowl, stirring until evenly colored.
08 - Place a marshmallow on each brownie square if desired. Top each with a strawberry, pointed side up.
09 - Spoon or pipe the green chocolate frosting over each strawberry to resemble a Christmas tree. Immediately garnish with sprinkles or edible stars.
10 - Allow the decorations to set at room temperature for 10 minutes or refrigerate briefly until the frosting hardens.
