I Love Brownies
Brownies hold a soft spot in my heart tummy. I simply cannot resist! So moist, fudgy, rich chocolaty… Mmmm! While German Chocolate Brownies are my absolute favorite, these Peppermint Brownies come in at a close second! Let me tell ya why these babies are simply irresistible, starting with the brownie base itself. Never have you tasted such a perfect fudge brownie. The batter is made using mostly chocolate than just cocoa powder. This helps it have a more fudgy texture. I chose to use bittersweet chocolate as well as dark chocolate cocoa powder because the dark brown is really pretty in contrast with the white and red peppermint (like these`). Oh yeah, and there’s peppermint extract in the batter that adds to its already delicious flavor.
Perfect Christmas Brownie Recipe
On top of that thick dark chocolate fudge brownie is a layer of cream cheese frosting because everything tastes better with cream cheese! And if you didn’t get enough chocolate in the brownie, drizzled on top is some rich dark chocolate ganache. Mmmm! I’d add ganache to every dessert if I could. To add to the beauty and minty taste, the brownies are sprinkled with a crushed peppermint candy cane on top. Such a pretty Christmas treat. Bring this to a holiday party and you can be sure they will be eaten right up! You might be thinking to yourself that these Peppermint Brownies are cut into pretty small squares. True. My typical size brownie is about the size of 4 of these. But trust me, these are the perfect size to curb your chocolate craving without creating more of a need for a New Year’s resolution diet. But if you want to go ahead and cut them larger… or just eat two! ha! Enjoy!
