- 1/2 cup crushed peppermint candies or candy canes
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease an 8×8 inch baking pan.

- Fold in semi-sweet chocolate chips and pour the batter evenly into the prepared pan.
- Bake for 20-25 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out with a few moist crumbs.
- While brownies bake, melt white chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl in 30-second intervals, stirring between each until smooth.
- Remove brownies from oven and immediately spread melted white chocolate over the warm brownies.
- Sprinkle crushed peppermint candies evenly over the white chocolate layer and gently press down.
- Let brownies cool completely and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to set the peppermint bark topping.
- Cut into squares and serve chilled or at room temperature.
