Ingredients
- 200 g dark chocolate chopped
- 150 g butter unsalted
- 200 g caster sugar
- 3 egg
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 100 g plain flour
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 100 g Peppermint Chocolate chopped
For the Topping:
- 100 g white chocolate chopped
- 1/2 tsp peppermint extract
- candy canes for garnish, crushed
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 180°C (160°C fan). Grease and line a 20cm square baking tin with parchment paper.
- In a heatproof bowl set over a pan of simmering water, melt the dark chocolate and unsalted butter together, stirring until smooth. Remove from heat and let it cool slightly.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the caster sugar, eggs, and vanilla extract until pale and fluffy.
- Gradually pour the melted chocolate mixture into the egg mixture, stirring until well combined.
- Sift in the plain flour and salt, then gently fold into the chocolate mixture until just combined.
- Stir in the chopped peppermint chocolate until evenly distributed throughout the batter.
- Pour the batter into the prepared baking tin and smooth the top with a spatula.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes or until the top is set and a skewer inserted into the centre comes out with a few moist crumbs.
- Allow the brownies to cool completely in the tin before removing and transferring to a wire rack.
- For the topping, melt the white chocolate in a heatproof bowl set over a pan of simmering water. Stir in the peppermint extract.
- Once the brownies are cooled, drizzle the melted white chocolate over the top and sprinkle with crushed candy canes.
- Allow the topping to set before slicing into squares and serving.
Notes
- Make sure to cool the brownies completely before cutting to ensure clean slices. Store leftover brownies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
- These peppermint brownies are perfect for the festive season or anytime you're craving a chocolatey treat with a hint of minty freshness.
