You may have gathered by now that I am a dark chocolate and peppermint freak  lover. I mean I am on a constant quest for ways to combine those two flavors. Most of the time it works. Other times? Well, you have those times, don’t you?

This time. This time the experiment worked very well. If you like intensely dark chocolate, then you must make these brownies as soon as you can. I used Ghirardelli Intensely Dark Midnight Reverie™ chocolate, Ghirardelli semi-sweet chocolate baking bar AND dark chocolate chips to ramp up the intensity of the dark chocolate. Then I perked it up with peppermint. Just cause.

Chewy. Intensely dark chocolate, Minty fresh. These are my idea of heavenly brownies.

Think I should rename them Heavenly Brownies?

Note: You can crush peppermint candies or candy canes for the topping. Or you can buy a small bag of already crushed peppermint candy chips. Who was the genius who came up with that idea, y’all?  #somebodyelseisthemillionaire
