Ingredients
For the Brownies
- 20 ounces dark chocolate brownie mix
- ¼ cup brewed black coffee hot (200°F)
- ½ cup vegetable oil
- 1 large egg
- 1½ teaspoons peppermint extract
For the Topping
- ¾ cup dark chocolate chips
- ⅓ cup heavy cream
- ½ cup Crushed candy canes
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F. Line a 9x13-inch baking pan with parchment paper and lightly spray it with nonstick spray. Set aside.
- Stir together the brownie mix, coffee, vegetable oil, egg, and peppermint extract.
- Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan and place into the preheated oven to bake for 50 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean or with moist crumbs. Remove from the oven and place onto a cooling rack to cool to room temperature.
- Once the brownies are cooled, make the topping. Heat the heavy cream in a heat-proof bowl in 30-second increments, stirring in between. Pour the heated heavy cream over the chocolate chips and let them set for 1 minute. Mix the chocolate chips and heavy cream until smooth and creamy. Pour the ganache onto the brownies and spread to the edges. Sprinkle the crushed candy canes over the surface of the ganache.
- Place the brownies into the refrigerator for 10 minutes to let the ganache set. Slice and serve.
