I love anything with chocolate and peppermint. Peppermint bark, mint m&ms, they are all favorites of mine. I usually make these chocolate peppermint brownies with the No Pudge brownie mix, but I thought I would try to make a batch from scratch.
1 cup sugar
3/4 cup flour
1/2 cup cocoa
1/4 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon salt
2/3 a cup non fat vanilla yogurt
1-2 teaspoons peppermint extract (depends on how minty you like it)
1 cup mint chocolate chips(optional)
crushed candy canes (for topping)
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Mix together all dry ingredients until blended. Add yogurt and peppermint extract. Stir until smooth. It will take a lot of stirring to mix all the powder, but it will turn dark and fudge if you keep stirring. Mix in chocolate and mint chips (optional). I put mine into cupcake cups, to make them easier to give away, but you can smooth the batter into an 8 or 9 inch square pan. sprinkle the crushed candy canes on top, and bake for 30-40 minutes, or until brownies reach your desired consistency. Since this recipe contains no raw ingredients, your brownies can be as fudgey as you want them to be! I baked my cupcake brownies for 20 minutes. Let them cool, or top with ice cream for a delicious treat. Enjoy!

If you want to make these using your favorite brownie recipe or boxed mix, just add the peppermint extract, chocolate chips and candy canes after following the normal baking instructions.
