Just discovered this recipe and adapted it to my liking. I love peppermint and chocolate in any form!

Time 35m

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 box family-sized brownie mix (for a 9 x 13 pan)
1/4 c butter, melted
3 eggs
12 miniature chocolate-covered peppermint patties, unwrapped
3/4 c semi-sweet chocolate chips
3 2-inch candy canes, unwrapped, coarsely crushed

Steps:

  • 1. Heat oven to 350 degrees. Place paper baking cups in each of 12 regular-sized muffin cups. In medium bowl stir brownie mix, melted butter, and eggs until well blended.
  • 2. Divide batter evenly among muffin cups. Place a peppermint patty on top if batter in each cup and press down into batter about 1/4 inch. You could also put some batter in the bottom of the cup, lay the patty on top, and cover it with more batter, too.
  • 3. Bake 18-22 minutes or until edges are firm. Cool 5 minutes. Remove from pan onto cooling rack. Cool completely--about one hour.
  • 4. In small microwaveable bowl, microwave chocolate chips on high about 1 minute; stir until smooth. Drizzle melted chocolate over top of each brownie cup. Sprinkle with crushed candy canes.
