Are you a mint-chocolate person? I’m sharing a Candy Cane Brownies recipe today
that is just your speed! These candy cane topped brownies are a delicious treat
around the holidays. If you love the combination of mint and chocolate, these
gooey-in-the-center peppermint brownies are for you! This is a variation on my
classic foolproof brownies recipe, but with a minty additions inside and out.
The full peppermint brownie recipe is at the end of this post, but first I’m
sharing a few helpful tips (including specific ingredient recommendations).

HOW TO MAKE CANDY CANE TOPPED BROWNIES



Start by preheating your oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C), and spraying a
9-inch square baking pan with nonstick cooking spray.



Mix the dry ingredients (sugar, flour, cocoa powder, salt, and baking powder)
together in a mixing bowl. Ingredient tip: This recipe is written using regular
unsweetened cocoa powder, but if you like dark chocolate, you can
substitute Hershey’s Special Dark cocoa powder. Candy Cane Brownies are
delicious with dark chocolate!



In a separate bowl, mix the wet ingredients (butter,* eggs, vanilla extract, and
peppermint extract). The peppermint extract adds a subtle minty taste to the
chocolate in these brownies in addition to the crushed candy canes that go on
top later.

*Important tip: In order to make these brownies foolproof, it’s important to use
real butter, not margarine, for this recipe. I’ve tried it with margarine and it
never turns out the right consistency.



Add the wet ingredients to the bowl with the dry ingredients and stir the batter
until well mixed.



Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan and spread it out evenly with a
spatula. Bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes, or until the edges are brown
and the center is set. Cooking tip: This recipe makes brownies that are gooey in
the center, as that’s how my family likes them. If you prefer a firmer brownie,
cook for up to 5 more minutes, checking every few minutes to ensure the edges
don’t burn.



While the brownies are baking, crush 6 regular-sized candy canes. I crush them
while still in their plastic by lightly pounding with a mallet. It doesn’t take
much effort to crush them (if you pound too hard you’ll end up with peppermint
dust instead of crushed chunks). Ingredient tip: If you make these at a time of
year when candy canes aren’t available, you can crush pieces of peppermint disc
candy instead. Pour the crushed peppermint through a fine mesh strainer to
separate the bigger chunks from any powdery crumbs. Discard the powder and keep
the bigger chunks.



After the cooking time ends, remove the pan from the oven and place it on a wire
rack (it will continue to cook in the pan as it cools). Add the crushed candy
cane pieces over the top of the brownies, pressing them down lightly to embed
them onto the top. If you do this while the brownies are still hot, the candy
cane pieces will melt lightly onto the top, which is oh-so-yummy!



Let the brownies cool completely (about 30 minutes) before cutting and serving.



These candy cane topped brownies are minty, chocolatey deliciousness!




Peppermint brownies are great for holiday gifts or for serving at holiday
parties, too. That is, if your family doesn’t devour them first!



Here’s the Candy Cane Brownies recipe! Be sure to pin this one for later, it
will be a favorite holiday treat year after year!

INGREDIENTS

 * 1 1/2 cups white sugar
 * 3/4 cup all-purpose flour
 * 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
 * 1/2 teaspoon salt
 * 1/4 teaspoon baking powder
 * 3/4 cup real, unsalted butter, melted
 * 3 eggs
 * 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
 * 1/2 teaspoon peppermint extract
 * 6 regular-size candy canes




INSTRUCTIONS

 1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a 9-inch square
    baking pan.
 2. Mix sugar, flour, cocoa powder, salt, and baking powder together in a mixing
    bowl.
 3. Mix butter, eggs, vanilla extract, and peppermint extract together in a
    separate bowl; add butter mixture to the bowl with the flour mixture and
    stir batter until well mixed.
 4. Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan.
 5. Bake in the preheated oven until edges are brown and center is set, about 30
    minutes (for gooey center brownies; if you prefer a firmer brownie, cook for
    up to 5 more minutes, checking every few minutes to ensure the edges don't
    burn).
 6. While the brownies are baking, crush the candy canes. Pour the crushed
    peppermint through a fine mesh strainer to separate the bigger chunks from
    any powdery crumbs. Discard the powder and keep the bigger chunks.
 7. Remove pan from the oven and place it on a wire rack. Add the crushed candy
    cane pieces over the top of the brownies, pressing them down lightly. Let
    the brownies cool completely before serving, about 30 minutes.


NOTES

 * You can substitute dark chocolate cocoa powder for the regular cocoa powder
   as a delicious variation to this Candy Cane Brownies recipe.
 * If you make this during a time of year when candy canes aren't available, you
   can use about 1/3 cup of crushed peppermint disc candies instead.
 * This recipe makes brownies that are gooey in the center, as that's how my
   family likes them. If you prefer a firmer brownie, cook for up to 5 more
   minutes, checking every few minutes to ensure the edges don't burn.
