I make york brownies. The recipe is below. Be sure they are spaced fther apart int he center than on the outsides so the center is not too gooey. For a shortcut version, you can use boxed brownie mix for a 9 x 13 size pan.
PEPPERMINT BROWNIES
3 sticks butter, melted
3 cups sugar
1 Tablespoon vanilla
5 eggs
2 cups flour
1 cup cocoa
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon baking powder
24 miniature York Peppermint Patties
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Grease a 9x13 baking dish and set aside.
In a large bowl, mix together butter, sugar and vanilla. Add eggs one at a time, stirring well. Stir in the flour, cocoa, baking powder and salt. Spoon all but 2 cups of mixture into prepared pan. Place York Patties on top of the batter (spacing about ? to ? inch apart). Spread remaining batter over candies. Bake 50 minutes or until brownie pulls away from the sides of the pan. Cool completely in pan then cut into squares.
Note: A knife will not come out clean because of the melted patties.
For super easy, make brownies according to directions. After removing from oven cover the top with mints. Put back in oven for about one minute. After removing from oven, wait about 5 minutes & when mints have melted, swirl lightly with a knife. Let cool & enjoy.
