PEPPERMINT BARK CREAM CHEESE TOPPED FUDGY BROWNIES

That’s right, y’all.  It has crumbled homemade peppermint bark as the topping over a yummy cream cheese frosting.  It’s so delicious, and in my opinion, the perfect blend of Christmas in one 9×13 baking dish.  My kids love to make the peppermint bark and of course lick the spoon from the frosting.  But this is a great dessert to make with the kids, because they’ll love all the fun and easy steps in this recipe.

Now to be clear, you can take a few shortcuts with this recipe.  I’ll never tell or judge if you do.  Because shortcuts are what gets us through this crazy busy time of year.  And since, I’m openly admitting to shortcuts, I’ll go ahead and spill the beans.  I made these brownies with a box mix!  Because that’s how I roll.

Ingredients

• 2 boxes of your favorite Brownie mix
• 12 oz chocolate bark (melted)
• 1 cup white chocolate melting chips
• 4-5 crushed candy canes
• 1/2 tsp vanilla
• 1/2-1 tsp peppermint oil
• 1 block of softened cream cheese
• 1 box powered sugar
• 1-2 tbsp milk* if needed

Instructions

1. Make your 2 boxes of brownie mix - per instructions on the back of the box.
2. While your brownies are baking, melt your chocolate almond bark in 30 second intervals.  Stir every 30 seconds.  Line a cookie sheet with wax paper.  Once your chocolate bark has melted, spread your melted chocolate on top of the wax paper.
3. Once your chocolate bark has cooled completely - start melting your white chocolate melting chips.  Stirring every 30 seconds until melted.  Add your vanilla & peppermint oil - if desired, once your chocolate has started to melt.  When your white chocolate has completely melted, spread your white chocolate on top of your milk chocolate bark.
