How to Make Peppermint Chocolate Brownies
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x13 inch baking pan.
- Melt 6 ounces of the chocolate and ½ cup (1 stick) of the butter in a double boiler or microwave. Stir until smooth and set aside to cool slightly.
- In a large bowl, beat together the eggs, sugar, and vanilla extract until light and fluffy.
- Gradually add the cooled chocolate mixture to the egg mixture, beating until well combined.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour and salt.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
- Stir in the nuts (if using).
- Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan and spread evenly.
- Bake for 16-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with moist crumbs.
- Let the brownies cool completely in the pan before frosting.
- While the brownies cool, prepare the frosting: In a medium bowl, cream together the remaining ½ cup (1 stick) of butter and the granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
- Gradually add the heavy cream and peppermint extract, beating until the frosting is smooth and spreadable.
- Frost the cooled brownies evenly.
- Melt the remaining 6 ounces of chocolate and the remaining butter in a microwave or double boiler.
- Drizzle the melted chocolate over the frosting.
- Cut into bars and serve. Enjoy!
