These Peppermint Cream Brownies are made up of a rich, fudgy buttermilk brownie topped with a peppermint cream filling and a layer of ganache! A sprinkling of crushed peppermints finishes off these decadent brownies!
Every year my husband and I have our own Thanksgiving dinner, just the two of us. Sometimes we have it on Thanksgiving, sometimes not. This year we had it this past weekend and had a mini version of a classic meal. Except for dessert.
By the time we got around to having our Thanksgiving, we were tired of Thanksgiving/fall desserts. So, we switched things up and had peppermint cream brownies instead!
They were so good we might just have to have them for our Thanksgiving dessert next year! A rich, fudgy buttermilk brownie is the base of these festive brownies.
The peppermint cream filling tastes a lot like a york peppermint patty, especially since it’s topped with a layer of chocolate!
A sprinkling of crushed peppermint candies adds a bit of color and crunch to these decadent brownies.
While these brownies have three layers, they are pretty easy to make, and definitely worth every minute it takes to make them. If you like the peppermint and chocolate combination, these bars will test your willpower!
Their rich chocolaty flavor will have you digging into the pan of brownies each time you walk by it!
