Holiday Recipes {Peppermint Brownie Cakes}


These brownies are to die for! They were a big hit with my family so I thought I'd share them. I love all things brownie...so maybe one of these days I'll share my various brownie recipes.

Peppermint Brownie Cakes

Brownie Mix                                                          Other ingredients
1 2/3 c. sugar                                                         semi sweet chocolate chips 
3/4 c. melted butter or margarine                            York Peppermint Patties
2 T. water                                                              peppermint candy canes
2 eggs
1 3/4 c. flour
3/4 c. cocoa
1/2 tsp. baking powder
1/4 tsp. salt

Turn oven to 350 degrees (bake 18-20 minutes)

Directions
Mix sugar and butter, add eggs, vanilla and water. In separate bowl, mix dry ingredients. Combine the two. Lightly spray cupcake liners, add large spoonful of batter, then add 5 or so pieces of chopped York Peppermint Patties, add another spoonful of batter, smoothing the tops. After they come out of the oven, place on cooling rack.

Place 1/2 bag of chocolate chips in a large zip lock bag. Microwave at 30 second intervals, smooshing the chips in between (you don't want the chocolate to scortch) so make sure and only do it at 30 seconds each time. Once it's melted, cut a small corner of the bag and squeeze zig zagging over brownies. Then sprinkle crushed candy canes on top.

They are super rich but incredible. Hope you enjoy, and have a fabulous Thanksgiving!!
