Ingredients

• For the brownies:
• 3/4 cup unsalted butter
• 1 1/2 cup granulated sugar
• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 3/4 cup dark chocolate unsweetened cocoa powder
• 3 large eggs
• For the Frosting:
• 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
• 1 1/2 cup powdered sugar
• 1 Tbsp milk
• 1/4 tsp peppermint extract
• 36-48 Peppermint Hershey Kiss Chocolate candies
• sprinkles

Preparation

Step 1

In a large, microwave safe bowl, heat butter until melted (about 1 minute).
Add sugar, flour, and cocoa. Mix with a wooden spoon until fully combined, about 2 minutes. Add eggs and blend completely!!
Spray mini muffin tins with non-stick baking spray. Scoop a large tablespoon into each muffin cavity. Bake in a 375 degree F oven for 9-11 minutes. Allow brownies to cool in pans about 10-15 minutes, then remove and cool completely on a wire rack, before frosting.
For the frosting, beat butter, powdered sugar, milk and peppermint extract for 4 minutes on high until fluffy. Spoon into a decorating bag with a tip (any tip is fine). Pipe one circle of frosting onto each cooled brownie. Top immediately with sprinkles and a Hershey Kiss.
Store in a covered container at room temperature for 3-5 days. ENJOY.
