In Coon Rapids, Minnesota, Clara Bakke adds a special ingredient to these sweet and fudgy brownies. A layer of mint patties provides the rich, refreshing surprise. Ingredients:
1-1/2 cups butter, softened |
3 cups sugar |
5 eggs |
1 tablespoon vanilla extact |
2 cups king arthur unbleached all-purpose flour |
1 cup baking cocoa |
1 teaspoon baking powder |
1 teaspoon salt |
1 package (12 ounces) chocolate-covered peppermint patties |
Directions:
1. In a large bowl, cream butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Beat in vanilla. Combine the dry ingredients; add to creamed mixture and mix well.
2. Spread about two-thirds of the batter in a greased 13-in. x 9-in. baking pan. Arrange peppermint patties over top. Carefully spread remaining batter over patties. Bake at 350° for 35-40 minutes or until edges begin to pull away from sides of pan and a toothpick inserted near the center comes out clean (top will appear uneven). Cool completely on a wire rack. Cut into bars. Yield: 2 to 2-1/2 dozen.
