PEPPERMINT HOT CHOCOLATE BROWNIES
From: Jessica @ www.a-kitchen-addiction.com/peppermint-hot-chocolate-brownies/
Rich, fudge one bowl brownies are stuffed with peppermint and marshmallows and topped with a fluffy hot chocolate buttercream to make up these easy Peppermint Hot Chocolate Brownies!
When I think of the flavors of Christmastime, the first one that always comes to mind is chocolate peppermint.
Serves: 16
INGREDIENTS
For the Brownies
¾ Cup butter
1 Cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
1½ Cup sugar
3 eggs
1 tsp vanilla extract
1 Cup all-purpose flour
¼ tsp salt
½ Cup Andes Peppermint Crunch baking chips or crushed peppermints
½ Cup marshmallow bits
For the Frosting
1 (1 oz) packet of hot chocolate (without marshmallows)
2 tbsp hot water
2 Cup confectioner's sugar
¼ Cup butter, room temperature
1 tsp vanilla extract
Instructions:
Preheat oven to 375.
Line a 9x9 inch (or 9x13 inch**) baking dish with parchment paper or spray with non-stick cooking spray.
In a large microwave safe bowl, melt butter in microwave.
Add chocolate chips to melted butter and let sit for a minute.
Stir in chocolate chips until smooth.
Stir in sugar.
Beat in eggs and vanilla until creamy.
Stir in flour and salt until combined.
Stir in Andes baking chips/crushed peppermints and marshmallow bits.
Spread into prepared baking dish and bake for 30-35 minutes, or until toothpick inserted in center comes out with just a few crumbs.
Remove to a wire rack to cool.
In the bowl of a stand mixer, or a large bowl if using an electric mixer, whisk together hot chocolate mix and hot water until mix is dissolved.
Beat in 1 cup confectioner's sugar until smooth.
Add in remaining 1 cup confectioner's sugar, butter, and vanilla extract.
Beat until creamy.
Spread frosting over cooled brownies.
Sprinkle with marshmallow bits and crushed peppermint, if desired.
Cut into pieces and serve.
NOTES
**If using a 9x13 inch baking dish, start checking the brownies at 25 minutes. You may also want to make a double batch of the frosting, as the frosting makes a thin layer for a 9x9 inch baking dish.
