Just discovered this recipe and adapted it to my liking. I love peppermint and chocolate in any form! Plus, despite my protests that it shouldn't even appear before the day after Thanksgiving, I'm seeing Christmas EVERYWHERE already (today is Halloween), and I am starting to look at things I'd like to make for the season. This one is on the list for sure!!! I could even see making them as mini-cupcakes (bite-sized is nice when putting treats on a platter). This is not my photo; it was from Countdown to Christmas B page and mentioned Betty Crocker. Could be either of theirs.

Could be a Betty Crocker Photo or a Countdown to Christmas photo; no credit was given on the picture. But do want to clarify that it's not my photo.

How To Make peppermint brownie cupcakes

Step 1

Heat oven to 350 degrees. Place paper baking cups in each of 12 regular-sized muffin cups. In medium bowl stir brownie mix, melted butter, and eggs until well blended.

Step 2

Divide batter evenly among muffin cups. Place a peppermint patty on top if batter in each cup and press down into batter about 1/4 inch. You could also put some batter in the bottom of the cup, lay the patty on top, and cover it with more batter, too.
Step 3

Bake 18-22 minutes or until edges are firm. Cool 5 minutes. Remove from pan onto cooling rack. Cool completely--about one hour.
Step 4

In small microwaveable bowl, microwave chocolate chips on high about 1 minute; stir until smooth. Drizzle melted chocolate over top of each brownie cup. Sprinkle with crushed candy canes.
