Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, melted
- 2 cups granulated sugar
- 4 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 3/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1/2 cup white chocolate chips
- 1 cup crushed peppermint candies or candy canes
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and line a 9×13 inch baking pan with parchment paper, leaving an overhang.
- In a large bowl, whisk the melted butter and granulated sugar together until combined.
- Beat in the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, and salt.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing only until just combined. Do not overmix.
- Fold in the semi-sweet chocolate chips.
- Spread the batter evenly into the prepared baking pan.
- Bake for 20 to 25 minutes. The edges should look set, but the center should still be slightly soft.
- Remove the pan from the oven. Immediately sprinkle the white chocolate chips evenly over the top. Let them sit for 5 minutes to soften.
- Sprinkle the crushed peppermint candies over the melted white chocolate.
- Allow the brownies to cool completely in the pan before lifting them out using the parchment overhang.
- Cut into squares and serve your crowd-pleasing dessert.
Notes
- For extra fudgy texture, slightly underbake the brownies.
- Ensure your peppermint candies are crushed finely for even topping distribution.
- Use high-quality cocoa powder for the best chocolate flavor.
