Follow The Directions

01

Step

Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and lightly flour a 9-inch square baking pan. (5 minutes)

02

Step

In a medium bowl, whisk together flour and salt. In a separate large bowl, combine sugar and cocoa powder. Add melted butter and mix until well combined. Beat in eggs and peppermint extract until smooth. Gradually add the flour mixture, stirring until just combined. Do not overmix. (10 minutes)

03

Step

Pour batter into the prepared pan and bake for 40-50 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with moist crumbs attached. (45 minutes)

04

Step

Let brownies cool in the pan for at least 20 minutes before frosting. (20 minutes)

05

Step

While brownies are cooling, prepare the peppermint frosting: In a large bowl, cream softened butter until smooth. Gradually beat in powdered sugar until combined. Add 1 tablespoon of milk, peppermint extract, and red food coloring (if using). Beat until smooth, adding additional milk, 1 teaspoon at a time, if needed to reach desired consistency. (10 minutes)

06

Step

Spread peppermint frosting evenly over the cooled brownies and refrigerate to set. (5 minutes)

07

Step

For the chocolate ganache: In a saucepan, heat heavy cream and butter over low heat until simmering. Remove from heat and add chopped chocolate. Let stand for 1 minute, then stir until smooth and glossy. (10 minutes)

08

Step

Place ganache in the freezer for approximately 35 minutes, stirring every 10 minutes to achieve a spreadable consistency. (35 minutes)

09

Step

Spread the chilled ganache evenly over the frosted brownies. Refrigerate to set completely before cutting and serving. (5 minutes)

For an extra touch, sprinkle crushed candy canes on top of the frosting before it sets.
Store brownies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or in the refrigerator for up to a week.
For a fudgier brownie, slightly underbake. For a cakier brownie, bake until just set.
