Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 oz Unsweetened chocolate
- 0.75 cup Butter
- 2 cups Granulated sugar
- 4 whole Eggs
- 1.5 tsp Vanilla extract
- 1 tsp Peppermint extract
- 1 cup All-purpose flour
- 0.5 tsp Salt
- 2 cups Powdered sugar
- 0.5 tsp Peppermint extract (for topping)
- 2 tbsp Heavy cream
- 0.25 cup Butter (for topping)
- 6 oz Semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 3 tbsp Peppermint candy (crushed)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9x13-inch baking dish or line it with parchment paper.
Melt the unsweetened chocolate and 3/4 cup of butter in a saucepan over low heat, stirring frequently, until smooth. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the granulated sugar with eggs, whisking until light and fluffy. Add the vanilla extract and peppermint extract, then stir in the melted chocolate mixture.
Gradually fold in the flour and salt until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish and spread it evenly. Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out with a few moist crumbs.
While the brownies are baking, prepare the peppermint topping. In a medium bowl, beat together the powdered sugar, 0.25 cup of softened butter, 2 tablespoons of heavy cream, and 0.5 teaspoon of peppermint extract until smooth and creamy.
Once the brownies are done, allow them to cool completely. Spread the peppermint mixture evenly over the cooled brownies.
In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the semi-sweet chocolate chips in 15-second intervals, stirring in between, until smooth. Drizzle the melted chocolate over the peppermint layer.
Sprinkle the crushed peppermint candies over the top for decoration.
Let the brownies set in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes before cutting into squares. Serve and enjoy!
