Peppermint chocolate candy brownies recipe; These brownies use peppermint bark candy to take them to the next level! You love this peppermint chocolate candy brownies recipe!
I like flavors being seasonal, for the most party. I like to save lemons for spring and summer, pumpkin for fall, and gingerbread for winter. But… there is an exception, and that is peppermint.
Why should peppermint be just for winter? Why is Peppermint Bark only sold in December? It’s a tragedy, if you ask me. You can get peppermint gum anytime, why not peppermint baked goods?
I stocked up on the peppermint bark when I found it at the store during the after-Christmas clearance sale. Maybe some people are tired of it by January, but not me. Not even close.
Peppermint and I have some things in common, namely, that we are both close personal friends with chocolate. Very close. In fact, I think it’s fair to say, we both love chocolate. And we’re both tired of cherries and strawberries monopolizing the Valentines Day dessert scene. It’s time peppermint had it’s day.
I tweaked my basic One-Bowl Brownie recipe just a little, to keep these from being too gooey.

I love to eat peppermint all year long! For Valentine’s day, I act like it’s is the day between February 13 and 15th, and generally it end up just as dull.

You are too funny when you said peppermint should have its day and I agree. I never understood why red berry posts explode during Valentine’s Day (other then for being red). Aren’t they popular all year round? Whatevs!
I plan on dinner at home, just me and my sweetie!
a quiet dinner followed by a yummy decadent dessert with my hubby
I plan to spend Valentines Day at home with my handsome and loving husband. We are having grilled shrimp and champagne. ..just the two of us.
you have no idea how good those brownies look! i saw them and pinned them immediately so i can make them as soon as my little one sleeps…haha
Girl, I agree! Mint is perfect all year round. Chocolate manufacturers take note! Give the people what they want! Your brownies look so gooey, chocolatey and decadent! I love how pretty the broken up peppermint bark looks on top.
