The brownies will go from looking wet and shiny on the surface to more of a dull finish on them. These peppermint brownie squares are a little unique though because the chocolate is melted directly in the pan with the butter over a low heat until silky smooth. This would require a pot of simmering hot water with the bowl of chocolate sitting over it to capture the steam making the chocolate melt. It’s better to melt the chocolate slowly either in the microwave or over a double boiler. A few extra seconds on the heat and you can end up with a nasty smelling burned mess that can’t be saved and will require another drive to the grocery store. They melt really well and taste rich and dark but not bitter. My go-to chocolate chip is this variety from Guittard. I prefer to stay away from the cheaper brands of chocolate chips when baking just because they can have extra ingredients added to them like more sugar and they also contain less cocoa butter to help the chips hold their shape in cookies. WHAT MAKES THIS CHOCOLATE PEPPERMINT BROWNIE SO RICH?īetween using good quality chocolate and adding more brown sugar than regular white sugar, are the main reasons for the richness. Cakey, gooey and squishy are all ways I’d describe a cookie or brownie, but personally for me I like my brownies soft in the middle, almost a little underdone. Wrap them in a clear plastic bag with a Christmas ribbon and who could resist? Brownies are sort of like cookies in the way that they can be many different textures. You can make my chocolate peppermint brownie squares just for yourself, absolutely no shame there but they also make great gifts for any special people that might need a special reminder at this time of the year. But when the flavor mash-up is delivered to you in a rich dark chocolate soft centered brownie, life can seem pretty good. I always thought that the best chocolate flavor combination was with peanut butter (which actually is awesome) but then when Christmas time comes around I’m reminded about chocolate and peppermint! Everything from the smell to the taste makes me question my chocolate peanut butter love affair. Refrigerate for a few minutes to set the frosting.Soft baked Chocolate Peppermint Brownie Squares are exactly what everyone needs at Christmas time! These brownies are soft in the middle with crushed candy cane pieces on top! Stir and pour about 2/3 of frosting over brownies. Open frosting container and microwave for 30 seconds.

Since the addition of the crushed candy cane looked perfect, I didn’t add in the white chocolate. I thought about melting them and drizzling on top.
