For an extra touch, sprinkle crushed candy canes on top of the frosting before it sets. Store brownies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or in the refrigerator for up to a week. For a fudgier brownie, slightly underbake. For a cakier brownie, bake until just set.

Follow The Directions
01
StepPreheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and lightly flour a 9-inch square baking pan. (5 minutes)
02
StepIn a medium bowl, whisk together flour and salt. In a separate large bowl, combine sugar and cocoa powder. Add melted butter and mix until well combined. Beat in eggs and peppermint extract until smooth. Gradually add the flour mixture, stirring until just combined. Do not overmix. (10 minutes)
03
StepPour batter into the prepared pan and bake for 40-50 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with moist crumbs attached. (45 minutes)
04
StepLet brownies cool in the pan for at least 20 minutes before frosting. (20 minutes)
05
StepWhile brownies are cooling, prepare the peppermint frosting: In a large bowl, cream softened butter until smooth. Gradually beat in powdered sugar until combined. Add 1 tablespoon of milk, peppermint extract, and red food coloring (if using). Beat until smooth, adding additional milk, 1 teaspoon at a time, if needed to reach desired consistency. (10 minutes)
06
StepSpread peppermint frosting evenly over the cooled brownies and refrigerate to set. (5 minutes)
07
StepFor the chocolate ganache: In a saucepan, heat heavy cream and butter over low heat until simmering. Remove from heat and add chopped chocolate. Let stand for 1 minute, then stir until smooth and glossy. (10 minutes)
08
StepPlace ganache in the freezer for approximately 35 minutes, stirring every 10 minutes to achieve a spreadable consistency. (35 minutes)
09
StepSpread the chilled ganache evenly over the frosted brownies. Refrigerate to set completely before cutting and serving. (5 minutes)
