How to Make Get The Sensation Brownies

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Grease and flour a 13x9 inch baking pan.
  3. In a large bowl, cream together 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, 2 cups granulated sugar, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract until light and fluffy.
  4. Beat in 4 large eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition.
  5. In a separate bowl, whisk together 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour, ¾ cup unsweetened cocoa powder, 1 teaspoon baking powder, ½ teaspoon baking soda, and ½ teaspoon salt.
  6. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
  7. Reserve 2 cups of the batter and set aside.
  8. Spread the remaining batter evenly into the prepared pan.
  9. Arrange 1 cup of York Peppermint Patties in a single layer over the batter, leaving about ½ inch space between each patty.
  10. Carefully spread the reserved 2 cups of batter over the peppermint patties.
  11. Bake for 50-55 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out with moist crumbs.
  12. Let cool completely in the pan before cutting into squares. Enjoy!

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Want to unlock deeper, more complex flavors? Try toasting your whole spices before grinding them, or blooming ground spices in a little warm oil to enhance their aroma. Deglazing your pan with a bit of stock, wine, or even water after browning ingredients can capture those tasty caramelized bits, adding richness to your dish.
