How to Make Jessica's Famous Brownies

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line an 8x8 inch baking pan with foil, leaving an overhang on the sides for easy removal, and grease with nonstick spray.
  2. In a medium saucepan over low heat, melt 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter and 12 ounces of semi-sweet chocolate chips, stirring frequently until smooth and combined.
  3. Remove from heat and whisk in 2 cups granulated sugar, 4 large eggs, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, and 1 cup all-purpose flour. Do not overmix.
  4. Pour half of the batter into the prepared baking pan.
  5. Evenly distribute 1 cup of crushed peppermint patties over the batter.
  6. Pour the remaining batter over the peppermint patties and gently spread to even the top.
  7. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with moist crumbs attached. Do not overbake.
  8. Let the brownies cool completely in the pan before lifting them out using the foil overhang. Frost with your favorite frosting and cut into squares. Enjoy!
