Notes
- Get Crushing: The easiest way to crush candies is to place them in a baggie and use a rolling pin. You can also use a meat mallet, but you risk tearing the bag.
- Make Your Favorite: You don't have to mix in peppermint candies, or even any candy at all. These brownie cookies taste great even without anything extra!
- Melting Chocolate: You can use a microwave or double-boiler, whichever is easiest.
- Not a Mint Fan?: Feel free to swap the peppermint extract for vanilla extract and replace the crushed peppermint candies with another candy of your choice.
