This recipe is from a buy-a-cookbook-with-UPC's from a cereal box from General Mills and it's titled the ABC Cookbook. Each recipe begins with a letter from the alphabet and this one is "F" for fudge brownies.
I remember cooking from it when I was 7 or 8, so this recipe is certainly well-tested. They are very dense fudge-like brownies with an intense chocolatey flavor - not cake-like at all. I add the peppermint for the season, but they are excellent with nuts or any other mix-ins.
Peppermint Fudge Brownies:
(makes an 8 x 8 pan of brownies)
1/4 c butter
6 oz chocolate chips (dark chocolate is great)
3/4 c sugar
2/3 c flour
1 tsp vanilla
1/4 tsp baking powder
1/4 tsp salt
2 eggs
Mix-Ins:
1/2 c chocolate chips
1/2 c crushed peppermint candies or candy canes, divided
Directions:
Preheat oven to 350. Grease a 8 x 8 baking pan. Heat butter and chocolate chips over a double boiler or in the microwave. Stir to incorporate.
Mix in all other ingredients (expect chocolate chips & crushed peppermint. Once incorporated, stir in mix-ins.
Spread into baking sheet and top with the reserved crushed peppermint.
Bake for 25 minutes. Let cool a few minutes before cutting and serving.

Looks good and I'm not even big on chocolate! I love fudge type brownies and this would be great to use the chocolate-mint swirled morsels in!
There's nothing much better than a rich, fudgy brownie. Yours look perfect!
Thanks Claire and Kristen. A gooey brownie is a sweet I can't resist. :)
Claire - great idea on the swirled morsels. A co-worker is stealing that idea!
There seems to be a trend of combining chocolate and mint. Of course, mint chocolate chip ice cream is a classic, but more recently I've seen mint hot chocolate mixes offered by Williams Sonoma and Penzey's. I hadn't thought of "minting" brownies, but it sounds like something to try.

Hi Silverbear - Chocolate Mint seems to be something people either love or hate - I have been a longtime mint-chip ice cream lover, so this kind of combinatin is one of my favorites.
Welcome Budding Cook, glad you found my site and hopefully you try (and enjoy) some of the recipes.
That looks like a great recipe, of course I love nearly all kinds of chocolet fudge.
