Whisk in cream cheese. Fold in cookie crumbs until combined. Transfer to a bowl and chill until firm, 2 hours or up to overnight.

2. Line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper. Roll mixture into tablespoon-sized balls; transfer to baking sheet. Freeze until firm, 35 to 40 minutes.

Small Star Sprinkles
Candy Canes

Steps to Make It:

1. Line an "8x8" baking pan with aluminium foil and spray with cooking spray.

2. Prepare the brownie mix according to the package directions and bake as directed.Allow brownies to completely cool, approximately 1.5 hours.

3. Remove the brownies from the pan, and cut into triangles. (Cut in three rows, then cut in alternating diagonals).

4. Unwrap the candy canes, and use a sharp knife to gently cut/break the candy canes into 1.5" long pieces. Press the sharper end of the candy cane into the bottom of the brownie triangles.

5. Spoon out approximately ½ of the tub of icing into a bowl. Add green food colouring until you're happy with the colour. Spoon the green icing into a zip lock bag. Seal the bag and cut off a small corner of the bag with sharp scissors.

6. Starting at the top of the brownie triangles, gently squeeze out the icing in a curvy zigzag as you go down the tree.

7. Add your favourite sprinkles and a small star sprinkle at the top.
