Peppermint Mocha Brownies

Written By Rachel Handy

Ingredients:

  • 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter

  • 1 cup granulated sugar

  • 1 cup brown sugar

  • 4 large eggs

  • 1 cup all-purpose flour

  • 1 cup cocoa powder

  • 1 teaspoon baking powder

  • 1/2 teaspoon salt

  • 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips

  • 1/2 cup strong brewed coffee (cooled)

  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

  • 1/2 cup crushed peppermint candies

  • Whipped cream (optional)

  • Additional crushed peppermint candies for garnish

Instructions:

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350Β°F (175Β°C). Grease and line a 9x13 inch baking pan with parchment paper.

  2. Melt Butter: In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the butter. Allow it to cool slightly.

  3. Mix Sugars: In a large bowl, whisk together the granulated sugar and brown sugar.

  4. Combine Ingredients: Add the melted butter to the sugar mixture, mixing until well combined. Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the cooled coffee and vanilla extract.

  5. Add Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, sift together the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring until just combined. Fold in the chocolate chips.

  6. Bake: Pour the brownie batter into the prepared pan, spreading it evenly. Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with just a few moist crumbs.

  7. Cool & Garnish: Allow the brownies to cool completely in the pan. Once cooled, sprinkle crushed peppermint candies over the top. Cut into squares and, if desired, top with a dollop of whipped cream and additional crushed peppermint candies.

Enjoy!
