Description
Small, rich brownie bites flavored with peppermint and topped with crushed candy canes.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 box (18.3 ounces) brownie mix
- Ingredients listed on brownie mix box (usually eggs, oil, water)
- 1 teaspoon peppermint extract
- 1/2 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 2 tablespoons milk
- 1/4 cup crushed candy canes
Instructions
- Prepare the brownie batter according to the box directions, adding the peppermint extract to the wet ingredients.
- Fold in the chocolate chips.
- Bake the brownies in a 9×13 inch pan as directed on the box.
- Let the brownies cool completely in the pan.
- Once cool, crumble the brownies into a large bowl.
- Mix the crumbled brownies with a small amount of frosting until a dough forms that holds its shape when rolled.
- Roll the mixture into small balls, about 1 inch in diameter.
- Place the balls on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
- Make a simple glaze by whisking together the powdered sugar and milk until smooth.
- Dip the top of each brownie ball into the glaze, allowing excess to drip off.
- Immediately sprinkle the tops with crushed candy canes before the glaze sets.
- Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes before serving.
Notes
- You can use store-bought frosting instead of making the simple glaze if you prefer.
- Store leftover brownie bombs in an airtight container in the refrigerator.
