Substitutions:
- You can use something like peppermint schnapps to flavor this brownie instead! You'll need to increase the amount slightly.
- We used bittersweet chocolate, but feel free to use semi-sweet!
Expert Tips:
- Beat the eggs, sugar, vanilla, and peppermint oil for the full ten minutes!
- Don't over-mix the batter once you add the chocolate and flour.
- Your peppermint oil may be stronger or weaker than ours. Adjust as needed.
- You can use bake-even strips to ensure the brownies bake evenly.
- To help determine if the brownies are baked, use a cake tester!
- Run a dull knife around the edges of the pan to make sure the brownies release from the sides.
