A layer of peppermint patties gives these brownies a delicious twist. Ingredients:
8 tablespoons unsalted butter |
8 ounces semisweet chocolate, chopped |
1 cup sugar |
3/4 teaspoon salt |
3 large eggs |
1/2 cup all-purpose flour |
1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder |
25 small peppermint patties |
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 350°.
2. Line an 8-inch square baking pan with aluminum foil, leaving an overhang on all sides; butter foil. Set aside.
3. Place chocolate and butter in a medium heatproof bowl set over (not in) a saucepan of gently simmering water. Stir occasionally just until melted, 4 to 5 minutes.
4. Remove from heat. Whisk in sugar and salt until smooth; whisk in eggs. Gently whisk in flour and cocoa powder just until smooth (do not overmix).
5. Spread 1/3 of batter in prepared pan. Arrange peppermint patties on batter in a single layer, leaving a narrow border on all sides. Top with remaining batter, and smooth surface. Bake until a toothpick inserted in center comes out with moist crumbs attached, 45 to 55 minutes.
6. Cool completely in pan. Use foil to lift from pan; peel off foil and discard.
7. Cut into 16 squares.
