“Keep it simple stupid” is always great advice!

Especially when we are in the thick of holiday baking we don’t need to be experimenting with recipes!
The only experiment is going to be how much self control I will have against these Mint Brownies!

Whipping up mint brownies in no time

And a thick layer of chocolate ganache, whipped cream and double layer of crushed candy canes!

Vegan Fudge Brownies Recipe ~this is the closest recipe to the ones I sold in my bakery
Or 1 Hour or 100 Hour Brownies ~this was the copy cat recipe of Tasty’s 100hr brownie but ready in 1 hour!

Alternatively just go the easy route like I did with my Box Brownie Life Hack for replacing the eggs in a box brownie mix

Notes for Success:

The best way to crush candy canes so they don’t turn to dust is with a small hammer
Simply place the candy canes in a ziploc bag and lightly tap them with a hammer

The only problem I had with this recipe is that since the whipped cream has to be refrigerated it caused the candy canes to sweat and bleed slightly
So I would recommend to add the second layer of crushed candy canes to the whipped cream just before serving, not ahead of time

The finished mint brownies freeze well, but again on the thaw any condensation will melt those candy canes
Which is why I would recommend adding the candy canes to the top at the very last minute!
