Time 1h30m

Yield 9

Number Of Ingredients 12

Cooking spray
10 tablespoons unsalted butter, cut into pieces
1 ⅔ cups Ghirardelli 60% Cacao Bittersweet Chocolate Premium Baking Chips, divided
1 cup granulated sugar
3 large eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
¼ cup Ghirardelli 100% Unsweetened Ground Cocoa
½ cup all-purpose flour
½ teaspoon baking powder
½ teaspoon salt
2 (3.5 ounce) Ghirardelli Peppermint Bark with Dark Chocolate bars, coarsely chopped, divided
¼ cup heavy cream

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Line bottom and sides of an 8-inch square pan with parchment paper, allowing about 1 inch of paper to extend over opposite sides of pan; lightly coat with cooking spray.
  • In a microwave-safe bowl, microwave butter and 1 1/3 cups chocolate baking chips on medium (50% power) for 2 minutes, stirring every 30 seconds, until melted and combined. Whisk in sugar until grainy. Whisk in eggs and vanilla until smooth.
  • In a separate bowl, whisk together cocoa, flour, baking powder, and salt. Stir flour mixture into chocolate mixture until just combined. Fold in half the peppermint bark. Pour mixture into the prepared pan; smooth the top.
  • Bake, rotating pan halfway through, until a toothpick inserted in center comes out with a few crumbs, 25 to 30 minutes. Let cool on a wire rack for 30 minutes. Lift brownies from pan using parchment as handles and transfer to a cooling rack to cool completely.
  • Set cooling rack on a rimmed baking sheet. Place remaining 1/3 cup chocolate baking chips in a medium glass bowl. Warm cream in a small, heavy saucepan over medium-high heat, stirring occasionally, until steaming, 2 to 3 minutes. Remove from heat and pour over chocolate chips. Let stand for 2 minutes; whisk until smooth.
  • Pour over brownies and spread to the edges with a small offset spatula. Sprinkle evenly with remaining peppermint bark. Before serving, let stand or refrigerate until glaze sets.

I get requests every year for these Brownies at Xmas. Ghirardelli knocked Brownies out of the park with this recipe! Instead of using the double boiler method, I use my microwave to melt the chocolate and butter.

Categories     Chocolate     Dessert

Yield 16 Brownies

Number Of Ingredients 11

4 ounces Ghirardelli 100% Cacao Unsweetened Chocolate baking bar, broken or chopped into 1 inch pieces
1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter
3 large eggs
2 cups granulated white sugar
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
½ teaspoon peppermint extract
¼ teaspoon salt
1 cup all-purpose flour
1 (5.32-ounce) bag Ghirardelli Dark Chocolate with White Mint Filling Squares™, unwrapped (about 10 squares)
4 small candy canes, crushed (about ¼ cup)
To serve these at a party, or to package them nicely to give away for the holiday season, cut the brownies smaller and place them in paper candy cups.

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350°F. Spray a 9-inch square baking pan with cooking spray and dust with flour, tapping out any excess. In the top of a double boiler or in a heatproof bowl over barely simmering water, melt the unsweetened chocolate and butter, stirring occasionally until smooth. Cool to room temperature. In a large bowl with an electric mixer or whisk, beat the eggs, sugar, vanilla, peppermint extract, and salt until combined. Beat in the chocolate mixture. Gently stir in the flour. Pour the batter into the prepared pan. Bake for about 45 minutes, or until a tester inserted into the brownies comes out clean. Arrange the mint squares on top in one layer and return the brownies to the oven until they are just melted, about 1 minute. Evenly spread the chocolate with a spatula and sprinkle with the crushed candy canes. Cool completely before cutting into 2-inch squares.
