Description

Delight in these decadent Peppermint Patty Brownies featuring a rich chocolate base with a refreshing peppermint candy center. Perfectly fudgy and festive, these brownies combine classic boxed brownie mix convenience with the cool, minty surprise of York Peppermint Patties, making them an irresistible treat for holiday gatherings or anytime you crave a mint-chocolate delight.

Ingredients

Brownie Batter

  • 18.7 ounce package of brownie mix (Family size, for a 13" x 9" pan)
  • ⅔ cup vegetable oil
  • 2 eggs
  • ¼ cup water

Filling

  • 24 miniature York Peppermint Patties

Instructions

  1. Preheat and Prepare Pan: Preheat your oven to 325°F (163°C). Grease a 13" x 9" baking pan thoroughly with cooking spray to prevent sticking.
  2. Mix Brownie Batter: In a mixing bowl, combine the brownie mix, vegetable oil, eggs, and water according to the package instructions. Stir until you have a smooth batter.
  3. Layer Bottom Batter: Pour about half of the brownie batter into the prepared pan and spread it evenly to cover the bottom.
  4. Add Peppermint Patties: Unwrap the 24 miniature York Peppermint Patties and arrange them in the pan evenly in a 6 by 4 grid over the batter.
  5. Top with Remaining Batter: Carefully pour the remaining brownie batter over the peppermint patties, spreading gently to cover them completely without disturbing positioning.
  6. Bake the Brownies: Place the pan in the preheated oven and bake for approximately 18-20 minutes. Check doneness by inserting a toothpick into the center; it should come out with moist crumbs but not wet batter. Avoid overbaking to prevent the peppermint from bubbling out.
  7. Cool and Set: Allow the brownies to cool in the pan at room temperature, then refrigerate for several hours to let the peppermint candy set properly.
  8. Serve: Bring the brownies to room temperature before cutting into 20 squares and serving for the best texture and flavor.

Notes

  • Oven temperatures vary, so monitor brownies closely to avoid peppermint candy bubbling out.
  • Refrigeration after baking is crucial to allow the peppermint patties to set inside the brownies.
  • For easier cutting, let brownies come to room temperature after refrigeration to prevent crumbling.
  • You can substitute the York Peppermint Patties with other mint-flavored candies of similar size if desired.
