Peppermint Brownies
Love the minty surprise inside these brownies!
Ingredients
- ½ cup (1 stick) butter
- 2 ounces unsweetened chocolate, chopped
- ¾ cup all purpose flour
- ½ teaspoon baking powder
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- 1 cup granulated white sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 16 small (1½ inch) York Peppermint Patties, unwrapped
Instructions
- Adjust the oven rack to the middle position, and preheat your oven to 350℉. Line an 8 inch square pan with foil, making sure the foil comes over the sides. Spray the foil with nonstick spray.
- In a microwave-safe bowl, microwave the butter and chocolate until melted (1 to 2 minutes); let cool slightly. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder and salt. In a large bowl, whisk the sugar, eggs and vanilla together. Whisk the chocolate mixture into the sugar mixture until combined. Use a rubber spatula to stir in the dry ingredients until just incorporated.
- Spread all but 1 cup of batter in an even layer in the prepared pan. Place the mints ½ inch apart on top of the batter. Gently spread the remaining batter over the mints and smooth the top. Bake just until set in the center, 25 to 30 minutes. Let the brownies cool in the pan on a wire rack for 2 hours. Use the foil to help remove the brownies from the pan and transfer to a cutting board. Cut and serve, or store in a covered container.
