• 0.25 teaspoons salt
• 0.75 cups whole milk

• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 0.75 cups dark chocolate chips
• 1 cups heavy cream
• 2 tablespoons powdered sugar
• 0.5 teaspoons peppermint extract (optional)
• 0.25 cups crushed peppermint candies

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a square 8x8-inch baking pan.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, granulated sugar, cocoa powder, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt.

Step 6

Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out mostly clean. Let the brownie layer cool completely in the pan.

Step 7

While the brownies are cooling, whip the heavy cream with the powdered sugar in a chilled bowl until stiff peaks form. If desired, fold in peppermint extract for a festive twist.

Once the brownie layer has cooled, spread the whipped cream evenly over the top.
