Cool peppermint meets the delicious flavors of S’Mores in these amazing Peppermint S’Mores Brownies!
Welcome to the Sweets & Treats Blog Hop! Thirty-four tempting treats that are sure to be a hit at Christmas this year – be sure to visit each of the links (trust me, they’re all amazing!). You can find the links at the bottom of this post.
Of course when you mention Christmas treats, my mind immediately goes to peppermint and chocolate. It’s my favorite Christmas combination. The S’mores flavor combination of chocolate, marshmallow and graham crackers is a close second, so when I saw Peppermint Mini Marshmallows at Walmart, I knew immediately that they would be perfect for a Christmas version of my popular S’Mores Oreo Brownies!
They are so easy to make. You can use a box mix (like I did) or your favorite brownie recipe. My favorite mix is Ghirardelli but any box mix will work.
To make the Peppermint S’Mores Brownies, start by layering foil in the bottom of an 8″x8″ baking dish. then layer graham crackers, breaking to fit if necessary.
Next mix the batter and add Andes peppermint baking chips and peppermint marshmallows. Pour the batter over the graham crackers and bake. Add marshmallows to the top at the end of the baking time and broil for two minutes.
Allow the brownies to cool completely before cutting into squares – if you don’t you’ll have a sticky mess on your hands (and your knife!). For easiest cutting, I recommend dipping the knife in hot water then wiping clean before each slice.
Be sure to save one for yourself – I promise they will go quickly!
