PERFECT PEPPERMINT BROWNIES FOR CHRISTMAS
These Peppermint Brownies are filled with a great peppermint buttercream frosting, a layer of chocolate frosting, and then topped with peppermint crunch sprinkles. Perfect for a Christmas dessert. Since they start with a boxed mix, they can be made quickly.
For our Peppermint Brownies, I added in a layer of delicious peppermint frosting. This stuff is so amazing and compliments the chocolate so well. Then I tossed on some crushed up candy canes to give these brownies a festive twist.
You can cut these in smaller bite sized pieces for serving a crowd, that’s what we plan to do for our holiday get together. We think they will be perfect for holiday guests.
