Peppermint Brownie Recipe
This easy chocolate Peppermint Brownie Recipe is so yummy! They are fudgy, decadent brownies topped with thick and creamy peppermint frosting.
Equipment
Ingredients
Brownies:
- One pan of prepared brownies
- Your favorite box mix or we recommend these homemade
Frosting:
- 1 cup butter
- 1 ½ teaspoons peppermint extract
- 2 ¼ cups powdered sugar
Instructions
- Make brownies!
- Beat slightly softened butter on high for one minute. The butter should be slightly soft, but still cold. Add in the peppermint extract and beat another 30 seconds. Finally, add in the powdered sugar and beat until well combined.
- Smooth the frosting over the cooled brownies and top with your favorite sprinkles or festive decorations.
- Enjoy!
Notes
Store in an airtight container for up to 3 days. Can be stored at room temperature or in the refrigerator. I personally prefer to eat them cold!
This frosting recipe is a great amount for thick frosting on a pan of 8x8 brownies or a regular thickness on a 9x9 pan of brownies. If making brownies in a 9x13 pan, use 1.5x the amount using the following measurements: 1 ½ cups butter, 2 ½ teaspoons peppermint extract, 3 ⅓ cups powdered sugar. Follow directions as otherwise indicated.
Use peppermint extract instead of peppermint oil or flavoring for best results.
Wait for the brownies to cool completely before frosting or you'll end up with a mess!
Use a metal pan for a better rise and more even baking. They also provide a straighter edge. Glass pans make a more dense brownie and can bake less evenly.
For an even easier recipe: buy store bought vanilla frosting and add 1 teaspoon peppermint extract.
