Ingredients

Brownies

  • 113 g Butter
  • 66 g Semisweet Chocolate
  • 1/2 tsp Vanilla Paste
  • 120 g White Sugar
  • 53 g Brown Sugar
  • 2 Eggs
  • 87 g All Purpose Flour
  • 44 g Cocoa Powder
  • 1/2 tsp Salt

Chocolate Ganache

  • 3/4 cup Semisweet Chocolate
  • 1/4 cup Whipping Cream
  • 1/4 cup Candy Canes crushed

Instructions

Brownies

  • Preheat oven to 350F.
  • Melt butter & dark chocolate, mixing until combined. Can be done over a double boiler or in the microwave.
  • In your stand mixer, beat white sugar, brown sugar, eggs and vanilla paste on medium-high for 7 minutes.
  • Grease & line an 8×8” baking pan.
  • In a separate bowl, sieve your flour & cocoa powder, then add your salt.
  • Once the eggs & sugars are thoroughly mixed, turn your stand mixer on low and slowly stream in the slightly cooled butter & chocolate mixture.
  • Once it has been added, scrape down the sides of your mixing bowl & continue to beat on low until combined.
  • Add the flour, cocoa powder & salt and beat on low until just combined.
  • Fold in the chocolate chips by hand – so you don’t overmix the batter.
  • Pour your mixture into your lined 8×8” pan and put in the oven for 17 minutes.
  • Let the brownies cool completely in their pan before slicing. You can speed this up by putting them in the fridge for 30 mins to 1 hour.
  • Take the brownies out of the pan & make your ganache.

Chocolate Ganache

  • Add chocolate & whipping cream to a heat safe mixing bowl and microwave on high for 45 seconds.
  • Let it sit for 1 minute, then whisk to combine. Once combined, let it sit for 5 minutes to thicken up.
  • Crush your candy canes while you wait.
  • Spoon the ganache on top of the brownies, spreading it so there is an even layer on top.
  • Sprinkle candy cane pieces on top. Let the ganache harden so it is easier to slice. To help it set, chill in the fridge for 15-30 minutes.
