Ingredients
For brownies:
- 1 box Chocolate Brownie Mix I like the Ghirardelli brand
- 1 teaspoon espresso powder
- ½ teaspoon peppermint extract
For frosting:
- 1 cup unsalted butter room temperature
- 1-1/4 cup powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla bean paste
- ¼ teaspoon peppermint extract
- 7 ounces marshmallow creme
- ¼ cup crushed peppermint hard candy
Instructions
For brownies:
- Preheat the oven according to the box directions, and spray a 9x9 pan with non-stick cooking spray or line the pan with parchment paper.
- Make brownie according to the box directions, stir in the espresso powder and vanilla extract, and pour into the prepared pan.
- Bake according to box directions. The brownies are fully cooked when the edges are set, and when tested in the middle with a toothpick, a few crumbs stick to the toothpick.
- Let the brownies cool while you prepare the frosting.
For frosting:
- In the bowl of an electric mixer add butter and whip for at least one minute or until light and fluffy.
- Slowly add in powdered sugar 1/4 cup at a time until well combined. Mix in vanilla bean paste and peppermint extract.
- Add marshmallow creme to the frosting mixture and mix on high until combined and fluffy.
- Taste the frosting, and if you want more peppermint flavor, add another 1/4 teaspoon.
- After your brownies have cooled, top with frosting and sprinkle with crushed peppermint candies.

Notes
- PLEASE NOTE: you'll need oil, water, and eggs to accompany your brownie mix. Whatever the box calls for.
- Let the brownies cool before frosting.
- While marshmallow creme is not the same as marshmallow fluff, they are similar and can be used interchangeably in this recipe.
- You can buy crushed peppermint candy in a bag or crush your peppermint discs or candy canes.
