Ingredients

For the Brownies:

  • ¾ cup unsalted butter
  • 1 ⅓ cup all-purpose flour
  • ⅔ cup cocoa powder
  • 1 ¼ teaspoon fine sea salt
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 egg yolk
  • 1 ¾ cup granulated sugar
  • 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract

For the Bark:

  • 1 (12-ounce) package white or dark chocolate melting wafers
  • ½ teaspoon peppermint oil
  • 1 cup crushed peppermint candies

Instructions

Make the Brownie Base:

  • Preheat the oven to 350°F and have ready a 9x13" baking dish, lined with nonstick aluminum foil, leaving a bit of an overhang up the sides for easy removal.
  • Melt the butter in a microwave-safe bowl or pitcher and set aside until ready to use. 
  • In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine the flour, cocoa powder, and salt. Whisk to combine.
  • Add the eggs, the yolk, sugar, and vanilla to a large mixing bowl, and whisk until well-combined. Slowly stream in the melted butter, whisking all the while. 
  • Add the dry ingredients, and stir to combine with a sturdy wooden spoon. 
  • Add the batter to the prepared pan and smooth over the top. Bake for 20-22 minutes, remove from the oven, and allow to cool completely in the pan.

Make the Peppermint Bark Topping:

  • Melt the chocolate wafers according to package directions and stir in the peppermint oil.
  • If using dark chocolate wafers, dip your brownies in the peppermint chocolate, use a fork to lift the brownie out, and transfer to the wax paper. Sprinkle with peppermint.
    If using white chocolate wafers, lay the brownies out on the wax paper and spoon the white peppermint chocolate over the top of each brownie. Sprinkle with peppermint.
  • Allow to set (1-2 hours) serve and enjoy!
