Heat oven to 350 degrees. Grease bottom only of 13x9-inch baking pan. Set aside.
Melt 1-1/4 cups butter and chocolate in 3-quart saucepan over low heat, stirring occasionally, until smooth (6 to 10 minutes). Remove from heat; stir in sugar. Add eggs and 1/2 teaspoon peppermint extract; beat just until mixed. Stir in flour and salt; mix well.
Spread batter into prepared pan. Bake for 30 to 35 minutes or until brownies just begin to pull away from sides of pan. (DO NOT OVERBAKE.) Cool completely.
Combine all frosting ingredients EXCEPT milk in small bowl. Beat at low speed, gradually adding enough milk for desired spreading consistency.
Drizzle frosting over brownies. Sprinkle with candy; gently press into frosting. Cover; refrigerate to set frosting (30 minutes). Cut into bars.
