Ingredients

1 bagPamela’s Brownie Mix
½ cup oil
1 egg, large
¼ cup water
½ teaspoon peppermint extract
1 cup (170 g) chopped bittersweet chocolate, (or chocolate chips)
¼ cup (60 ml) heavy cream
¼ teaspoon peppermint extract
¼ cup crushed candy canes

Directions

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Lightly grease one 9” square pan. In a large bowl, combine all ingredients and mix gently with a fork until just combined. Do not over mix. Batter will be thick. Bake for 18 minutes. Remove from the oven and let it cool.
In a saucepan or the microwave, heat heavy cream until simmering. Place chocolate chips in a bowl, then pour heavy cream and peppermint extract over the chocolate. Let the mixture sit for a minute or two, then stir until chocolate is melted. If the chocolate doesn’t melt, place the bowl in the microwave for 15 seconds on 50% power level.
Spread ganache over cooled brownies and sprinkle crushed candy cane bits on top. Press down slightly so they stay. Chill the brownies for 15 minutes before slicing and serving.
