Place one brownie on serving plate, spread some buttercream, stack another brownie, spread some buttercream and stack the last brownie and cover the whole cake either fully or semi naked with buttercream.

Decorate with wafer, chocolate coated marshmallow, oreo, milk chocolate truffles, Aero mint flavored, chocolate coins, sprinkles, M n Ms, and chocolate coated dried cranberries.

Drizzle with ganace and insert in a spoon (beside for decoration, it's also to eat the nutella ;-))

Then place a Nutella jar
