PEPPERMINT BROWNIES

Crushed peppermint candy and a drizzle of frosting make these fudgy rich brownies especially good for the holidays.

Preparation time: 20 min Baking time: 30 min
Yield: 36 brownies

Brownie Ingredients:

1 1/4 cups Butter
6 (1-ounce) squares unsweetened baking chocolate
3 cups sugar
4 eggs, slightly beaten
1/2 teaspoon peppermint extract
2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon salt

Frosting Ingredients:

1 cup powdered sugar
2 tablespoons Butter, softened
1/8 teaspoon peppermint extract
1 to 2 tablespoons milk
1 drop red food color, if desired

Garnish Ingredients:

1/4 cup crushed candy canes or peppermint candy

Heat oven to 350°F. Grease bottom only of 13×9-inch baking pan. Set aside.

Melt 1 1/4 cups butter and chocolate in 3-quart saucepan over low heat, stirring occasionally, until smooth (6 to 10 minutes). Remove from heat; stir in sugar. Add eggs and 1/2 teaspoon peppermint extract; beat just until mixed. Stir in flour and salt; mix just until all ingredients are moistened and brownie mixture is smooth.

Spread batter into prepared pan. Bake for 30 to 35 minutes or until brownie just begins to pull away from sides of pan. (DO NOT OVERBAKE.) Cool completely.

Combine all frosting ingredients except milk in small bowl. Beat at low speed, gradually adding enough milk and scraping bowl often, for desired spreading consistency. Stir in food color, if desired, until well mixed.

Drizzle frosting over brownies. Sprinkle with candy; gently press into frosting. Cover; refrigerate to set frosting (30 minutes). Cut into bars.

Here is a recipe that includes crushed candy canes and a chocolate glaze.
