Thanksgiving is over! Now on to my favorite Holiday, Christmas. Here is the first baking recipe. I hope you like it. Peppermint and chocolate is my favorite combination! I wanted to try something new, so I decided on these. Gets me away from the peppermint bark! I ended up freezing these, and they taste the best as they are defrosting. This is an easy, great tasting Christmas baking recipe that you will love! Feel free to just make a pan of brownies with icing as well.
2 ounces unsweetened chocolate squares
1/3 cup butter
2 eggs, beaten
3/4 cup sugar
1/2 teaspoon peppermint extract
1/3 cup flour
1/4 teaspoon salt
Frosting:
1 stick butter, softened
1 1/2 cups powder sugar, sifted
1 tablespoon milk
1/4 teaspoon peppermint extract
1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
Melt chocolate and butter in a saucepan and slowly add sugar stirring constantly until blended. Add beaten eggs and stir in peppermint extract. Remove from heat and add flour and salt. Use a small ice cream scooper with a wiper and fill a mini cupcake pan with one scoop each.
Bake at 350 degrees for about 20 minutes, or until each bite is firm when touched. Top with peppermint butter cream frosting.
Beat butter and extracts. Add in powder and combine. Add in milk.
Makes about 36 brownie bites.
These are so good. I can't wait to make some for my kids, or maybe just myself.
