Ingredients
Scale
- 2 large eggs
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter (melted)
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 1/2 cup white sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/4 teaspoon peppermint extract (optional)
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour

- 1 cup white chocolate chips (for topping)
- 2 teaspoons coconut oil (for topping)
- 1/3 cup crushed peppermint candies
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Line an 8×8 baking pan with aluminum foil and spray lightly with cooking oil.
- In a mixing bowl, whisk together eggs, melted butter, brown sugar, white sugar, vanilla extract, and optional peppermint extract until well blended.
- In another bowl, combine flour, cocoa powder, and salt; mix well. Gradually add this to the wet mixture using a spatula until just combined.
- Fold in the semi-sweet chocolate chips gently.
- Pour the batter into the prepared pan and spread evenly. Bake for 25-28 minutes or until a toothpick inserted comes out fudgy but not wet.
- Allow brownies to cool completely before preparing the topping. Melt white chocolate chips with coconut oil in intervals in the microwave until smooth.
- Spread melted white chocolate over cooled brownies and sprinkle with crushed peppermint candies. Refrigerate until set.
