Preparation

Step 1

Mix the 1st 3 ingredients together in a mixing bowl. The batter will be thick. Spread slightly more than half of the batter into the bottom of a greased 9 by 13 inch pan
Put this first layer in the oven at 350 ˚ for 15 minutes.

Meanwhile unwrap a 10 oz bag of Hersheys Candy Cane Kisses. Place half of the unwrapped kisses on a cutting board and rough chop (not fine chop) them using a chefs knife. In a microwaveable bowl, heat 1 1/2 cups marshmallow cream for 30 seconds to make it easier to spread

Take the brownie layer out of the oven and using a spatula, gently spread the warm marshmallow cream evenly over the top. Then sprinkle the chopped kisses evenly over the top of the marshmallow cream. Drop small spoonfuls of the remaining brownie batter over the top of the kisses. You will be able to see the mallow cream and kiss bits through the cracks. This gives the top a nice crackly appearance when it comes out of the oven. Place the brownies back in the oven for 25-30 minutes

Once out of the oven, place the remaining kisses every so often on top of your hot brownies. You may not be able to resist...but it's best to allow them to cool just a bit before cutting into them!
