Peppermint Brownies

"Peppermint and chocolate are an inspired combination. I make these wonderful brownies with After Eight Dinner Mints because that's the brand available here, I expect any good quality chocolate-mint candy will do nicely."

  1. I had some difficulties baking these brownies with consistency. Though I followed instructions and cooked at indicated temp. I found that the top layer was a little charred by the time the inside was done. ?? They were pretty good, just not pretty, once I pulled off the top layer. Will hopefully give it another go soon, as I love peppermints!
     
  2. I love chocolate and mint and these brownies I enjoyed. Did not add the additional peppermint extract and gave the mints a rough chop before adding them to the brownie mixute. I lost track when counting the mints so added enough to pretty much cover the top. This would be a wonderful dessert topped with vanilla ice cream, hot fudge, and more chopped mints.

I moved out here many, many years ago from Ottawa, Canada - so I am blessed in having two wonderful heritages! I suffer from compulsive obsessive behaviour with regard to food and my psychiatrist thought it would be a good idea to find a 'society' where many have the same problem and try to find a cure. So far, I've copied a couple of thousand recipes from this site and my psychiatrist has thrown the towel in and refuses to answer the phone when I call. What did I do wrong? Got 3 kids that keep me on the go - 10 and under at this point (2008) - I may not get round to updating this for a few years, so you'll have to do your own maths. I teach English full-time and Greek Cookery part-time. I would like to make the cooking part of it full-time and the English Grammar part of it part-time. That's all for now.
