York Peppermint Brownies

I love anything mint, so what better brownie to make than one that incorporated york peppermint patties?

The first thing I will say about this is you need to refrigerate the York peppermint patties at least 24 hours before making this. Cutting them up was a little interesting and they all stuck together so it made sprinkling them over the top a little difficult.

When I first made these brownies (before adding the York Peppermint patties), we found that the brownies were a little too fudgy so I doubled the flour amount.  Now that I had doubled the flour amount, the brownies came out a little too cake like.  So now I’m thinking that while I do need to increase the flour amount, I didn’t need to increase it as much as I did.  The original recipe had 3/4 cups, this time around I used 1-1/2 cups, so I’m thinking that 1 cup of flour will do the trick.

Another problem we came across was the york peppermint patties.  Sprinkling them on top and then baking the brownies really didn’t work all that well.  It worked, but the patties ended up getting hard and they were’nt really that chewy.  So next time, I’m planning on mixing the patties straight into the batter and baking that way.  If that doesn’t work, then I’m going to take a step from the Rocky Road Brownies and sprinkle them on top and then bake them for 3-5 mintues after the brownies have had a chance to bake.  I may make these again this week to see if this works, but I’m not sure yet.

Ingredients:
1/2 cup butter or margarine
3/4 cup chocolate chips
2 eggs
1 cup sugar
1 tsp vanilla
1 cups all-purpose flour
8oz of York Peppermint Patties, chopped into pieces – chilled

Directions:

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Grease an 8×8 baking pan; set aside.
2. In a medium saucepan melt butter and 1/2 cup chocolate chips over low heat. Remove from heat. Stir in eggs, sugar, and vanilla. Using a wooden spoon or rubber spatula, beat lightly just till combined. Stir in flour.
3. Spread batter in prepared baking pan.  Sprinkle top of batter with chopped up York Peppermint patties
4. Bake in oven for 30 minutes.
