Ingredients
Scale
Brownie Batter:
- 1 cup unsalted butter (melted)
- 2 cups granulated sugar
- 4 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon peppermint extract
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon baking powder
- 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
Topping:
- ½ cup crushed peppermint candies or candy canes
Instructions
- Preheat the oven: Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a 9×13-inch baking pan with parchment paper or lightly grease it.
- Mix wet ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together melted butter and granulated sugar until smooth. Add eggs one at a time, whisking well after each addition. Stir in peppermint and vanilla extracts.
- Combine dry ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk flour, cocoa powder, salt, and baking powder. Gradually fold dry ingredients into wet ingredients until just combined.
- Add chocolate chips: Gently stir in the chocolate chips. Pour batter into the prepared pan and spread it evenly.
- Add topping and bake: Sprinkle crushed peppermint candies on top. Bake for 30 to 35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out with a few moist crumbs.
- Cool and serve: Allow the brownies to cool completely in the pan before cutting into squares.
Notes
- For an extra festive touch, drizzle the cooled brownies with melted white chocolate and more crushed peppermint.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 4 days.
