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.

I had some trouble finding peppermint extract, but I was able to substitute vanilla extract and it still turned out great.

These brownies were a bit too minty for my taste, but they were still good.

I had some trouble getting the brownies to bake evenly. The edges were overcooked while the center was still undercooked.

I've made these brownies twice now, and they've been perfect both times. They're fudgy and chocolatey, with just the right amount of peppermint flavor.
