Categories     Chocolate

Number Of Ingredients 19

Brownies:
4 ounces unsweetened chocolate
1 C butter (2 sticks)
4 eggs
2 cups sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla
1 1/4 C flour
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
Frosting:
2 C powdered sugar
4 tablespoons butter, softened
1 1/2 teaspoons peppermint extract
1 T milk
pink food coloring
Chocolate Glaze:
6 oz (about a cup) semi-sweet chocolate chips ,you could also use dark
6 tablespoons real butter (I suggest unsalted just for this step)
Additional:
1/2-1 C crushed candy canes (Use Bob's or Brach's, I don't recommend Spanglers)

Steps:

  • Brownies: Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Roughly chop baking squares so they'll be easier to melt, then place them in a microwave-safe bowl along with the 2 sticks of butter (also chopped). Melt in 30-45 second intervals, stirring in between, until melted and smooth. Set aside. Don't accidentally stick your finger in the melted butter and chocolate combo because it will laugh at you for forgetting that it is unsweetened. In a stand mixer or with electric beaters, beat eggs for about 3 minutes until thick and frothy. Add sugar and vanilla and beat to combine. Then add in the melted chocolate and butter that you set aside. Combine flour and baking powder and whisk into brownie batter by hand until just combined. Pour into a lightly greased 9×13 pan. If you want to make the job much easier, line your pan with foil first. Bake for 20-25 minutes. Test with a toothpick for doneness and don't over bake! When brownies are done, cool on a cooling rack. When completely cool, pop in the fridge to chill. (makes the frosting spreading easier). Next layer is the frosting: Combine all frosting ingredients and beat until light and fluffy. Add extra milk by teaspoonful if you need a little more. Spread evenly over cooled/chilled brownies and place back in the fridge to chill again while you do the final step. Chocolate Glaze: Place chocolate chips and butter in a microwave-safe bowl and cook in 30 second intervals until smooth. Set aside for a few minutes, stirring occasionally, so it can cool off just a bit. Remember in the first step when I told you to not accidentally let your finger fall in the chocolate butter mixture? Totally doesn't apply to this chocolate butter mixture. Quickly spread on top of brownies. I say quickly because the frosting is cool and the chocolate is hot. If you take your sweet time and over do it, you'll make a big gooey mess. Just spread it on quick. Sprinkle the crushed candy canes on top and return to the fridge until chocolate is set on top.R

These brownies were a bit too sweet for me, but I still enjoyed them. I think I'll try making them with half the amount of sugar next time.

The brownies were delicious, but they were a little dry. I think I'll add some extra butter next time.

These brownies were a little too sweet for my taste, but my kids loved them. I'll probably reduce the amount of sugar next time I make them.
