Instructions

Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a 9×13-inch pan with parchment.
Whisk butter and sugar; whisk in eggs and vanilla. Fold in cocoa, flour, salt and baking powder.
Bake 25–30 minutes. Cool completely, then chill 30 minutes.
Cut into 3 long strips, then into triangles, alternating diagonal cuts (about 24).
Pipe green frosting in a zigzag, add candy lights and a star, and insert a pretzel stick trunk.

Notes

Chill before cutting for clean edges.
Add pretzel trunks the day of serving so they stay crunchy.
