Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 cup brown sugar
- 3 large eggs
- 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 3/4 cup cocoa powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 cup crushed peppermint candy
- 1/2 cup white chocolate chips or chopped white chocolate
- 1/4 cup holiday sprinkles
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a 9×9-inch baking pan with parchment paper and set aside.
- In a large microwave-safe bowl, melt the butter. Stir in granulated sugar and brown sugar until smooth. Whisk in the eggs and vanilla extract.
- In a separate bowl, combine flour, cocoa powder, salt, and baking powder. Slowly mix the dry ingredients into the wet until just combined.
- Pour the brownie batter into the lined pan and smooth the top with a spatula.
- Sprinkle the crushed peppermint, white chocolate, and holiday sprinkles evenly over the top.
- Bake for 28 to 32 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted comes out with a few moist crumbs.
- Let the brownies cool completely in the pan.
- Slice into squares and serve or store for later enjoyment.
Notes
- Do not overmix the batter to keep the brownies tender.
- Cool completely before slicing for clean edges.
- Add a pinch of espresso powder to enhance the chocolate flavor.
- Store in an airtight container for up to 4 days or freeze for longer storage.
