Wow! Thanks for your quick reply! Well, I decided to make these to bring to my friend’s house anyway. I followed others’ advice about putting in 1/3 of the batter, then the patties, then the rest the batter. I have yet to cut thrm, but it appears that they turned out perfectly! Thanks again!

Hi, Debra! Like I said… I’ve not had any trouble out of mine but these are on my to-do list this week! There aren’t any “finished” photos because this post is ollllld; one from my first couple of months blogging and my photos were horrid! I’ll do it up right this time and see if I can figure out where the trouble’s happening!

I’d love to see a finished brownie picture myself! I’ve had this post pinned for quite some time (these look amazing!), but have yet to make these. I wanted to make them tonight to take to a friend’s house, but I’m not sure I want to risk it turning out all stiff or a big mess. :-/

I keep meaning to re-make these because of the “raising up” issue so I can help, but I can’t seem to NOT eat the peppermint patties. So glad yours turned out. Thanks for reading & commenting!

I had only one raise up. I used a 9/9 pan and the ghirardelli brownie mix. Can’t wait to test.

Hi, Martha! I think other readers have had trouble with the peppermint patties rising up instead of sinking down… I’d definitely be interested to know if the brand makes a difference! I’ve never had any trouble with mine but will have a go again soon and see if I can replicate/solve some of the issues. Plus I feel like I might owe you all some proper finished brownie photographs! Thanks for reading– Happy New Year!!!

I tried these but used Zachary brand peppermint patties. During baking, they sank to the bottom of the pan and became very chewy and made cutting difficult. All in all, kind of a mess. They tasted good, though. I’d like to try again using York Peppermint Patties, to see if the brand of candy I used is what caused the problem.

I, too, had them come out pretty messy. I am unable to tell if it’s patty mess or unbaked batter. I love this recipe so I will try again! Thank you for sharing!!

Ummm… I’ve not had that problem before but I think one other commenter had a similar question; I’d try not pouring quite so much brownie batter on the bottom before laying out the peppermint patties. Maybe 1/3 batter, then patties, them 2/3 batter would work better for you? Hope that helps! Let me know!
