According to Dorie Greenspan, Brrrrr-ownies are as frosty as a nor’easter thanks to the handful of York Peppermint Patties that are added to the mix.
Now I had planned on following this recipe to a “T”, but somewhere between my grocery cart and my Sunday afternoon baking marathon the peppermint patties DISSAPEARED. I’m not accusing anyone of being a peppermint pattie thief. But just to let you know, Matthew, your minty fresh breath gave you AWAY!!!!
So what is a Brrrrr-ownie with peppermint patties? I guess just an intensely rich piece of bittersweet chocolate heaven.
Delicious.
Side note on the job front… My last day of work with ENI Petroleum was June 25, 2010, but a friend got me a 30+ day temp job (at another oil compnay) filling in for someone out on maternity leave. So I have another few weeks before I officially join the ranks of the unemployed. Hopefully I’ll find something permanent in the next few weeks.
I had to hide my peppermint patties in the depths of my freezer so no thief would find them.
ReplyDeleteGood luck finding a new job--hopefully even better than the one you had before.
Best of luck on the job front! My pattys went missing, too. It all worked out in the end, though. Nice brownies!
ReplyDeleteI also thought this recipe could stand on its own!
ReplyDeleteI hid my patties from the hubby because I knew he would eat them before I baked the brownies if he found them. :) Yummy looking brownies, even without the peppermint patties.
ReplyDeletegood luck finding a job! jobhunting is always a not so fun thing to do, but maybe you can bring some brownies to sweeten the deal :)
ReplyDeleteIt sounds like there are quite a few peppermint pattie thieves out there. :) Glad these turned out so well! Thanks for baking with me this week!
ReplyDeleteOooh no (although I completely understand peppermint patty theivery). Your brownies still look delish!
ReplyDeleteHahaha peppermint pattie theivery was on the rise this week! I'm sure these were delicious either way.
ReplyDeletehmmmm...I happen to have a butterscotch chip thief in my home..everytime I open my pantry my packet of butterscotch chips looks smaller and smaller! Lol. Your brownies look lovely!
