Instructions
Heat the oven to 350℉ and line a 9x13" pan with foil then spray with cooking spray.
For the Brownies
In a standing mixer, beat together the sugars, oil and vanilla until smooth.
2 ¼ Cups Sugar,
¾ Cup Brown Sugar,
1 teaspoon Vanilla,
1 ½ Cup Canola Oil
Add the eggs one at a time with the mixer on low speed.
6 Eggs
In a separate bowl, whisk together the cocoa, flour, baking powder and salt.
1 Cup Cocoa Powder,
1 ½ Cups Flour,
¾ teaspoons Baking Powder,
½ teaspoon Salt
Add the chocolate chips and fold them in so they don't sink to the bottom of the brownies during baking.
1 Cup Chocolate Chips
Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and mix on low until combined.
Pour into the greased pan.
Bake for 35-45 minutes or until the center is set.
Allow the brownies to cool for 20-30 minutes and then opening the saran wrap, gently lay the peppermint on the brownies.
Pour the chocolate all over the brownies.
Allow to set or just go for it. ;)
Set aside.
For the Peppermint Topping
In the bowl of a standing mixer with the paddle attachment, mix together the powdered sugar, peppermint, corn syrup, shortening and evaporated milk.
7 ½ Cups Powdered Sugar,
1 teaspoon Peppermint Extract,
5 Tablespoons Corn Syrup,
3 Tablespoons Shortening,
5 Tablespoons Evaporated Milk
The mixture will take a little time to come together and may be crumbly.
Press together into a disc and set on a long piece of saran wrap.
Fold the saran wrap over the patty and use a rolling pin to roll into a 9x13" rectangle.
Set aside.
For the Chocolate Glaze
In a microwave safe bowl, add the chocolate and butter.
1 Cup Semi Sweet Chocolate Chips,
½ Cup Butter
Melt for 30 second intervals stirring in between until smooth.
Notes
Brownies can be frozen for 2-3 months.
