Makes 16 brownies
| Hands-On Time: 20m
Total Time: 3hr 20m
Ingredients
1/2 cup (1 stick)
unsalted butter, plus more for the pan
3/4 cup all-purpose flour,
spooned and leveled
1/4 cup unsweetened
cocoa powder
1/2 teaspoon baking
powder
1/2 teaspoon kosher
salt
6 ounces semisweet chocolate, chopped
1 cup sugar
2 large eggs
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
6 ounces white chocolate, chopped
1 teaspoon canola oil
1/3 cup chopped peppermint candies
(about 15 candies)
Directions
Heat oven to 350° F.
Butter an 8-inch
square baking pan.
Line with 2 crisscrossed pieces of parchment,
buttering in between and leaving an overhang on all sides; butter the
parchment.
In a medium bowl,
whisk together the flour, cocoa, baking powder, and salt; set aside.
In a large
microwave-safe bowl, combine the butter and semisweet chocolate.
Microwave on high in
30-second intervals, stirring between each, until melted and smooth. Let cool
slightly.
Whisk in the sugar,
eggs, and vanilla until smooth.
Add the flour mixture
and mix until just combined (do not overmix).
Spread the batter in
the prepared pan and bake until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out
clean, 30 to 35 minutes. Let cool completely in the pan.
In a medium
microwave-safe bowl, microwave the white
chocolate and oil in 30-second intervals, stirring between each, until
melted and smooth.
Spread on top of the
cooled brownies. Sprinkle with the candies and let set.
Holding the paper
overhang, lift the brownies out of the pan and transfer to a cutting board. Cut
into 16 squares (4 rows by 4 rows).
