Description

Candy Cane Brownies are a decadent combination of rich chocolate and refreshing peppermint. Topped with crushed candy canes, these brownies are a holiday favorite that’s perfect for dessert tables or gifting.

Ingredients

Units Scale

For the Brownies:

  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 teaspoon peppermint extract
  • 1/3 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt

For the Topping:

  • 1/2 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips (optional, for drizzling)
  • 1/2 cup crushed candy canes

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven:
    • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and line an 8×8-inch baking pan with parchment paper for easy removal.
  2. Make the brownie batter:
    • In a medium bowl, whisk together the melted butter and sugar until smooth.
    • Add the eggs, vanilla extract, and peppermint extract, whisking until fully combined.
    • Sift in the cocoa powder, flour, baking powder, and salt. Fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture until just combined (do not overmix).
  3. Bake the brownies:
    • Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan and spread evenly.
    • Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with a few moist crumbs. Let the brownies cool completely in the pan.
  4. Add the topping:
    • Once the brownies are cool, melt the chocolate chips (if using) in a microwave-safe bowl in 30-second intervals, stirring between each, until smooth.
    • Drizzle the melted chocolate over the brownies and sprinkle the crushed candy canes on top.
  5. Chill and slice:
    • Let the chocolate topping set for about 10-15 minutes. Use the parchment paper to lift the brownies out of the pan, then slice into squares or rectangles.
  6. Serve:
    • Enjoy immediately or store in an airtight container for up to 5 days.

Notes

  • Use a mix of red and white peppermint candies or candy canes for a festive look.
  • Add 1/4 cup of mini chocolate chips to the batter for extra chocolatey brownies.
