Ingredients
- 2 large eggs
- 1/2 cup butter unsalted, melted, 1 stick
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 1/2 cup white sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- ¼ teaspoon peppermint extract optional
- 1/2 cup all purpose flour
- 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup chocolate chips semi-sweet
- 1 cup white chocolate chips
- 2 teaspoon coconut oil or shortening
- ⅓ cup Crushed peppermint candies about 12 round candy peppermints or 3-4 candy canes crushed
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Line a square 8x8 pan with aluminum foil and lightly oil with spray oil.
- Add the eggs to a large mixing bowl and whip with a whisk until the yolks break. Add melted butter, brown sugar, white sugar, vanilla and optional peppermint extract to the bowl and mix well.
- In a second bowl, mix together the flour, cocoa and salt until combined. Add this mixture to your wet ingredients and mix until just combined with a silicone spatula to make the brownie batter. Fold the chocolate chips into the batter.
- Pour the batter into the pan. Use your spatula to spread the batter evenly in the pan.
- Bake brownies for about 25-28 minutes or until when you insert a toothpick in the center, the brownies are fudgy but not wet with batter. Allow the brownies to cool but leave them on the foil.
- Melt the white chocolate and coconut oil together at half power in the microwave for 30 seconds at a time. Stir in between with a dry spoon until a smooth white chocolate sauce forms.
- Pour white chocolate over the brownies and smooth from the center.. Sprinkle the tops of the brownies with crushed peppermint. Place in the refrigerator 30-45 minutes to set the chocolate, but can be left overnight. Slice and enjoy!

Notes
- You can use your favorite boxed mix brownies for the base to make these brownies. I would add chocolate chips and the peppermint extract to the batter, and then add the white chocolate and peppermint topping.
