I posted a photo of these peppermint pattie brownies on Instagram and Facebook when I made them last Friday afternoon. At the time I didn’t plan on blogging about them but people kept asking for the recipe so I thought, what the heck, I’ll tell everyone the 2 (well, 5, actually) ingredient recipe.
Here’s the super non-complicated way to make these bad boys:
Grab a box of brownie mix (Betty Crocker is my girl) and follow the directions on the box. Grease a muffin pan. Pour the batter in the muffin pan, filling half way. Bake for 18-20 minutes. Baking time will vary depending on the type of muffin tin you use, so when in doubt start out low on the time and check them often with a toothpick (I will not be held responsible for burnt brownies). While baking, unwrap your candies. Remove brownies from oven. Immediately smush York peppermint pattie hearts in the middle of each brownie. Allow them to cool. Pop ’em out of the pan. Done.
The possibilities are endless when it comes to smushing candy in the middle of brownies. While making these peppermint pattie brownies I also made Reese’s peanut butter egg brownies. Drool. Really, if it’s candy and you can shove it in the center of a brownie it’s fair game in my book.

Have you tried the complicated technique of smushing candy into the middle of a brownie?

Very cute! I have a great Andes mint recipe and I’m thinking I’ll be stealing your idea and making them valentined. I love stealing your ideas and acting like they are my own. 😉
I love york peppermint patties and i love brownies! I think I am going to HAVE to make these! Thanks for sharing 🙂
Yuummmm. Are those special Valentine’s peppermint patties? I don’t think I’ve seen them heart-shaped before. Looks delicious. Any combo of sweet deliciousness on top of more sweet deliciousness sounds like a winner to me.
Why yes they are. And I’m pretty sure they taste better in heart-shaped form.
I LOVE peppermint patties… and smushed in to brownies…. swoon! I cannot wait to make these with my kids for them to take to their Valentines Parties (I may make just a few extra for me too!)
Cute and delicious what more can a girl ask for!
I would eat these, if forced. 🙂
Those look so good! Thanks for sharing the recipe!
Rule #1. I eat healthy during the week. You may only post awesome brownie recipes on Fridays. Deal?
I kind of want to shove a Dove chocolate into a brownie. Mmmm, chocolate.
Oh my! Chocolate and mint what more could you want!?!? Thanks for sharing!
This is pretty much the cutest idea ever! My daughter is a huge peppermint patty fan. I’m thinking I might have to make these for her class for Valentine’s Day–easy and adorable sounds like the perfect equation!
