York Peppermint Brownies... Oh Yes.
**********UPDATE 1/30/2013: First I'd like to say a great big huge THANK YOU for reading Sugar Dish Me; the response on this post has been great!! Second... many of you have left comments and sent emails with questions about this recipe, and while I have addressed those issues specifically to each individual, I wrote an updated post (with better photos, including the finished product!!) to help. Several readers have had trouble with the peppermint patties busting through the top of the brownies while baking- advice on that is included. You can find the updated post HERE.
I have been crazy stupid busy with last minute shopping, wrapping, and of course baking. Also Chad and I narrowly missed being run over by an extremely aggressive old lady with a shopping cart full of ugly Christmas garbage yesterday, so you can understand my minor preoccupation and lack of recipe posts.
I'm sorry!!!
To make it up to you I submit my favorite last minute Christmas idea to date: York Peppermint Brownies. Oh yes. I did that
.
Make brownies.
My favorite brownie recipe is here: Forgotten Homework & Brownies
Pour half of your brownie mix into the prepared pan and then line up bite sized York Peppermint Patties.
Pour the rest of the batter over the brownies.
Bake.
Eat.
Merry Christmas!!!!

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