My thoughts:

This has been a long summertime together with autumn together with I am trying mightily to larn into the vacation spirit. What could live to a greater extent than festive than peppermint infused brownies?! I've made brownies amongst a Peppermint Pattie layer earlier (8 years ago, OMG) together with Candy Cane Oreo Brownies (4 years ago! Where does the fourth dimension go?) together with loved them together with thence I idea I'd produce a mash upward together with brand this candy-packed version. The mint favor is actually spread out together with the York Peppermint Patties laissez passer the brownies a slightly chewy texture which I detect pleasant. I ever forget how much I similar brownies together with how tardily they are to brand until I brand them again. It is similar brownie amnesia.

Normally I brand brownies inwards an 8x8 inch pan because nosotros are a menage unit of measurement of ii only this fourth dimension I went all out together with made a whole 9x13 inch pan which is perfect for taking together with sharing. Feel complimentary to cutting them equally large or pocket-size equally you'd like, they are rich only non equally over-the-top equally you'd think!
