How To Make The Best Peppermint Brownies
You’ll need a few easy to find ingredients that you are likely to already have in your pantry and refrigerator. It’s always a pleasure partnering with Karo® Syrup to bring you a festive treat that is sure to be the star of the dessert table!
Start by adding your softened butter and brown sugar to a large mixing bowl. Add your Karo® Dark Corn Syrup. Mix well then add 2 eggs, vanilla, and stir until well combined.
Add your dry ingredients and give a good stir until dough forms.
Transfer batter to a parchment lined baking dish and bake for 25 minutes, or until baked through. Remove and let cool.
Once your bars are cool, frost with a thin layer of chocolate frosting and top with crushed candy cane pieces and marshmallow bits. Wait until you sink your teeth into these chewy chocolate brownies.
Enjoy!
Tips For Making These Beautiful Bars
Make sure you use parchment paper to line your baking dish. Makes it much easier to pull out bars to cut into squares.
Use a plastic knife to cut your brownies into squares. No sticking, no mess!
Store any leftover brownies in an airtight container for 3 days on counter or 5 days in refrigerator.
These make great neighbor gifts too!
