Fudgy peppermint bark brownies are gooey chocolate brownies with chocolate chips, topped with white chocolate and peppermint. Delicious, these brownies taste like Christmas!
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Line a square 8x8 pan with aluminum foil and lightly oil with spray oil.
Add the eggs to a large mixing bowl and whip with a whisk until the yolks break. Add melted butter, brown sugar, white sugar, vanilla and optional peppermint extract to the bowl and mix well.
In a second bowl, mix together the flour, cocoa and salt until combined. Add this mixture to your wet ingredients and mix until just combined with a silicone spatula to make the brownie batter. Fold the chocolate chips into the batter.
Pour the batter into the pan. Use your spatula to spread the batter evenly in the pan.
Bake brownies for about 25-28 minutes or until when you insert a toothpick in the center, the brownies are fudgy but not wet with batter. Allow the brownies to cool but leave them on the foil.
Melt the white chocolate and coconut oil together at half power in the microwave for 30 seconds at a time. Stir in between with a dry spoon until a smooth white chocolate sauce forms.
Pour white chocolate over the brownies and smooth from the center.. Sprinkle the tops of the brownies with crushed peppermint. Place in the refrigerator 30-45 minutes to set the chocolate, but can be left overnight. Slice and enjoy!
Notes
You can use your favorite boxed mix brownies for the base to make these brownies. I would add chocolate chips and the peppermint extract to the batter, and then add the white chocolate and peppermint topping.
