Spiked Peppermint Brownies

This recipe uses a box brownie mix. Apologies to any purists out there, but the Ghiradelli Brownie Mix is simply the best and is always delicious. This Peppermint Schnapps glaze add some holiday flavor and is an easy way to mix it up. But note, the glaze is not cooked so you can definitely taste the alcohol! For a kid-friendly version, use a little peppermint extract instead.

Ingredients
  

  • 1 box brownie mix

  2. Place the candy canes in a ziplock bag and crush them into small pieces.
  3. Add the chocolate chips and heavy cream to a microwave-safe bowl and microwave for 30 seconds, then stir. Continue microwaving in 15 second increments, then stirring, until the chocolate is melted into a smooth sauce. Stir in the peppermint schnapps.
