I love fudgy brownies and these brownies are Fudgy with a capital F! Before baking, I added a layer of peppermint patties. The patties melt into the brownies creating one decadent brownie! Oh, and I decided to add chocolate ganache and chopped up peppermint patties to the brownies too because it is the holidays which means it’s ok to go ALL out!

Ingredients
  

For the brownies:

For the Ganache:

  • 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream
  • 1 cup chopped Peppermint Patties

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 350°F. Grease a 9″ x 13″ pan and set aside.
  • In a large saucepan, melt the butter over low heat. Add the sugar and stir to combine. Return the mixture to the heat, just until it’s hot, but not bubbling. It will become shiny as you stir. Remove from heat and stir in the cocoa, baking powder, salt, and vanilla extract.
  • Add the eggs, stirring until smooth. Add the flour and stir until just combined.
  • Spoon half of the batter into prepared pan. Place the peppermint patties on top of the batter. Pour the remaining batter over the peppermint patties and gently smooth. Tap the pan on the counter to even the batter out.
  • Bake the brownies for 35 minutes, until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, or with just a few moist crumbs clinging to it. The brownies should feel set on the edges, and the center should look very moist, but not uncooked. Remove them from the oven and cool completely.
  • To make the ganache, add the chocolate to a large bowl. Heat the cream in a small saucepan over medium heat just until it bubbles around the edges. Remove the cream from the heat and pour it over the chocolate. Let the mixture stand for 30 seconds, then stir until the chocolate melts and a smooth ganache comes together, about 1-2 minutes. Pour it over the top of the brownies, then cover with the chopped peppermint patties. Let the brownies sit for 30 minutes before cutting. Cut, serve, and enjoy!

  1. These brownies look incredibly moist and delicious. They certainly seem like the perfect dessert for this time of year.

  2. These look like total winners! They look so fudgy and decadent and those Peppermint Patties…so good! Pinned 🙂

  3. My husband put a bag of peppermint patties in the cart the last time we were at the store….. I think these need to be made for him!!! YUM! PINNED!

  4. My kitchen sounds about like your kitchen. BUT, is there any other way this time of year? There also isn’t any other way to eat chocolate than with peppermint, so I am loving these! Pinned!

  5. There’s nothing better than a fudgy brownie with creamy peppermint…always a favorite combo for me!

  6. Mint chocolate is the best flavor combo. Ever. I love brownies and I love peppermint patties!! 🙂

  7. These brownies are seriously all I am craving right now. I LOVE peppermint patties so I can imagine how good these must have tasted. Pinned!

  8. Woah! These look SO good! You really captured their “ooey-gooeyness” perfectly! Love brownies in the colder months, especially with peppermint!

  9. These are so perfect for the holidays, I can definitely think of a few people (read: my whole family) who’d go crazy for these brownies.

  10. These were yummy; although, the peppermint patties did not melt into the brownies for me. Maybe it was because I used York peppermint patties.

  11. Delicious. I skipped the ganache because I froze for thanksgiving, but we ate some before putting away. The York patties melted for me, but they solidify when the brownies return to room temp. I baked them for 35 minutes…they looked well done in the center, but toothpick looked pretty gooey. Probably the melty Yorks. They were perfectly done.
