Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup unsalted butter
  • 2 cups granulated sugar
  • 4 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
  • 8 ounces white chocolate, chopped
  • 1 cup crushed peppermint candies or candy canes
  • 4 ounces semi-sweet chocolate, chopped

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9×13 inch baking pan.
  2. Melt the butter in a medium saucepan over low heat. Remove from heat and stir in sugar, eggs, and vanilla extract until smooth.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, salt, and baking powder.
  4. Gradually add the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
  5. Pour the batter into the prepared pan and bake for 25-30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted comes out with a few moist crumbs.
  6. Allow brownies to cool completely in the pan.
  7. In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the semi-sweet chocolate in 30-second intervals, stirring until smooth.
  8. Spread the melted semi-sweet chocolate evenly over the cooled brownies.
  9. In another microwave-safe bowl, melt the white chocolate until smooth.
  10. Drizzle the melted white chocolate over the semi-sweet layer, then immediately sprinkle crushed peppermint candies on top.
  11. Let the peppermint bark set at room temperature or in the refrigerator until firm, about 30 minutes.
  12. Cut into squares and serve.

Notes

For extra peppermint flavor, add a few drops of peppermint extract to the brownie batter or sprinkle additional crushed candy canes just before serving.
