With a brownie on the bottom, a rich chocolate ganache on the top and a gooey, minty center, these brownies are true peppermint patty perfection.
Just a quick note about these peppermint patty brownies… They are a bit smooshy looking because I was handling and stacking them a wee bit too much! Between the delivery driver and my dogs begging to go outside only to come back in. Seriously, would someone just give me 5 minutes! That’s the one thing I wonder when watching those perfectly timed videos on the one burner appliance. Where are the kids harassing you for snacks? Real life cooking with interruptions and trying to take photos after is much different. I’m pretty sure 90% of my photos are super close to having a dog face in them! Oh well, my dogs are cute. 
The middle is creamy-white minty perfection. And of course there is a nice chocolate ganache on top.
These peppermint patty brownies will go perfectly with your St. Patty’s Day celebrations.
