Double Fudge Peppermint Brownies

Obsessed with chocolate and peppermint right now. I thought it would be fun to sprinkle peppermint chunks inside of the brownies, but I didn't realize until later that the peppermint would actually melt into the batter! So when you eat the brownies, you taste peppermint, but it's not overpowering. Delicious!

Ingredients:

• Double fudge brownie mix
• 1 egg
• 1/2 c. melted butter
• 1/3 c. water
• 20 mini peppermint candy canes
  

Directions:

1. Set oven to 350 degrees
2. Mix the brownie batter together, using double the amount of melted butter instead of oil. 
3. Put the candy canes into a Ziploc bag and crush with a hammer
4. Pour half of the candy cane bits into the brownie batter
5. Spray a brownie pan with cooking spray
6. Pour in brownie batter
7. Top with half of the remaining candy cane bits (1/4 of the original)
8. Bake according to directions, or until toothpick comes out clean
9. When completely cooled, top with the rest of the candy cane bits
    
   
   

Enjoy!
