Ingredients For Peppermint Patty Brownies
Making these brownies is easy with just a few ingredients:
- White sugar.
- Unsweetened cocoa powder.
- All-purpose flour.
- Baking powder.
- Salt.
- Eggs.
- Vanilla extract.
- Butter.
- Peppermint patties.
For the peppermint patties we like to use York Peppermint Patties.
Freezing The Peppermint Patties is Key
The peppermint patties should be frozen before baking these brownies. They can be made without freezing, but for the best results, frozen peppermint patties are key.
We have made these brownies without freezing the peppermint patties, and the recipe does work, but the patties dissolve into the brownies, and you don’t get the layer of mint chocolate like you do with frozen patties.
Only take the peppermint patties out of the freezer when you are ready for them. You want them frozen when you put the pan in the oven.
Storing Peppermint Patty Brownies
These brownies don’t last as long as other types of brownies. They need to be stored in an airtight container for up to 2 days. After 2 days, the mint patties become stale from the baking process, and they become hard, making them hard to chew.
