Handmade Holiday Gifts: Peppermint Bark Brownie Bites

November 16, 2015 by Maria @ Close to Home

 

 

I love making baked goods all year round, but the winter holidays really inspire me to make extra and spread the joy. I love peppermint bark, and I found some on sale at Hallmark this week so I was inspired to create the delicious Handmade Holiday Gifts of Peppermint Bark Brownie Bites. They are the perfect size for gift giving and they have the peppermint flavor that we all crave in the winter.

If you know me, you know I take short cuts very often in my baking. So you can make these amazing brownie bites with a boxed brownie mix. Just chop up some of the delicious peppermint bark and add about 1/2 to 3/4 cup into your mixed batter. Decide how much peppermint bark you want to add to your mix, as some people are overwhelmed with the peppermint flavoring.

Spoon the batter into mini muffin tins sprayed with cooking spray. Bake for about 10 minutes. 

When cooled, make a glaze of confectionery sugar and cocoa. Add a few more pieces of the Peppermint Bark.
