PEPPERMINT HOT COCOA BROWNIES

Categories     dessert

Time 2h

Yield 24 brownies

Number Of Ingredients 22

Cooking spray
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 sticks unsalted butter, cut into pieces
6 ounces milk chocolate, chopped
1 cup granulated sugar
1 cup packed light brown sugar
4 large eggs, at room temperature
2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
1/2 cup whole milk
2 1/4-ounce packages unflavored gelatin powder
1/8 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup water
1 cup granulated sugar
1/2 cup light corn syrup
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
3/4 teaspoon pure peppermint extract
Cooking spray
Crushed peppermint candies, for topping

Steps:

  • Make the brownies: Preheat the oven to 325˚. Line a 9-by-13-inch baking pan with foil, leaving a 2-inch overhang on all sides; coat with cooking spray. Whisk the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda and salt in a medium bowl.
  • Melt the butter and milk chocolate in a pot over medium-low heat, stirring. Remove from the heat and whisk in both sugars. Whisk in the eggs, one at a time, then the vanilla and milk. Gently whisk in the flour mixture until just combined. Spread the batter in the prepared pan.
  • Bake until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with just a few crumbs, about 45 minutes. Transfer to a rack and let cool completely in the pan. Lift out of the pan using the foil overhang.
  • Meanwhile, make the topping: Combine the gelatin, salt and 1/4 cup water in a stand mixer fitted with a whisk attachment. Let sit 2 minutes. Combine the granulated sugar, corn syrup and 1/4 cup water in a small saucepan. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat and cook, without stirring, until the sugar is dissolved, 1 minute. With the mixer on low speed, slowly pour in the sugar syrup. Gradually increase the speed to high; beat until thick and fluffy, 12 to 14 minutes. Beat in both extracts.
  • Coat a rubber spatula with cooking spray; spread the topping on the brownies. Sprinkle with peppermint candies and let set, about 2 hours. Cut into pieces using a knife coated with cooking spray.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality cocoa powder: This will give your brownies a richer, more chocolatey flavor.
  • Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing can make the brownies tough and dense. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Use a toothpick to test for doneness: Insert a toothpick into the center of the brownies. If it comes out with just a few moist crumbs attached, the brownies are done.
  • Let the brownies cool completely before cutting: This will help them to set and hold their shape.
  • Serve the brownies warm with your favorite toppings: Try a scoop of vanilla ice cream, whipped cream, or chocolate syrup.

Conclusion:

Hot cocoa brownies are a delicious and easy-to-make treat that is perfect for any occasion. They are fudgy, chocolatey, and have a rich, hot cocoa flavor. With a few simple ingredients and a little time, you can create a batch of hot cocoa brownies that will be loved by everyone who tries them. So next time you are looking for a sweet and satisfying snack, give this recipe a try.
