A huge hit with friends! I used Ande mint chips instead of peppermint patties, and the chocolate chips were tough to chew. Next time I will stick to Peppermint Patties. I also added a dash of peppermint schanpps to the batter, which gave it more of a refreshing taste to the brownies themselves.

Awesome. Received great reviews from co-workers, "to die for" & "sooooo good" to name a few.... I could not find York peppermint patties but instead used "cool mints" which I found at bulk barn. Also used cake flour, everything else was done right to the letter, including cooking time, and they turned out great. Used a non stick pan and put cooking spray on it as well, and just popped the entire tray of brownies out after onto a rack, and then cut them up.

Very good brownie. I did leave mine in too long I think. It was still very moist and although fudgy I would say that it is more on the cakey side (or at least mine was). My mints melted and sank to the bottom :( I think due to the overbaking. I will try these again and try not to leave them in too long this time. It just seemed like they were not done when I kept checking them. TY for the yummy recipe.

The peppermints make this very rich. It was too rich for me, but I am not a big mint fan. I loved the texture and taste of the brownie, and I will definitely make the brownie in the future!

I used a glutten free boxed brownie to make for a friend. I just put half the batter in a greased glass 8X8 baking dish. Added chopped pepermint patties then the rest of the batter. They were good, nothing stuck and the minty flavor masked the normal after-taste of the gluten-free mix.

I've been making this recipe since I found it on the back of the York Peppermint Patties bag. It's sooo good! No changes needed.

I love this recipe. I have found that I really like using junior mints in this. They melt more and really make them gooey. They also make a great "icing" on top. :-)

I have made this recipe for years now. Everyone loves it. I have taken to baking it in 2 half pans, one with peppermint patties, the other with peanut butter cups. Everyone seems to have their favorite and it works well. Reduce the baking time by 10 minutes at least for peanut butter cups.

These were a huge hit at a recent baby shower, even the husbands who dropped by later couldn't resist. Great chocolatey taste that is not overpowered by the mint. The fact that the chocolate around the mint melts into the brownie, but the mint layer remains whole makes for a lovely appearance. Slice in squares then into triangles to show the peppermint. Made these two days before the shower and they stayed lovely and fresh.

I have made these for years -- always my husband's request for Father's Day and birthdays. I always make them in a metal 9x12 cake pan and I only put enough batter on the bottom to cover the pan (thick, but less than half the batter on the bottom) -- it always seems to require more than half the batter to cover the peppermint patty layer. When in doubt, undercook! You can almost never get an accurate toothpick reading because of the peppermint brownies, so I generally take them out when the edges start to crisp and the middle is set when I give the pan a giggle. I also think it helps not to overbeat the batter. Too much time in the mixer or the oven will make them dry and cakey, at which point they're really not worth eating. But a good, gooey center underneath that crisp, flaky top layer? Absolute heaven.

I thought these were great. I guess I expected the peppermint patties to melt a little bit more but they seemed to remain as is in the pan. But all in all were good. No exploding patties for me as I did push them further down in the batter. I made them for my little bro for his b-day...they are in the mail. I'll see what he says. Great but not exceptional.

Yum! These brownies were soooo good. I did not have peppermint patties, so, I added crushed Andies Mint baking chips and it still turned out ok. The brownies are very thick - cake like. I will make them again!

I made these and ended up with a HUGE amount and took most of them to our church coffee hour. They were all gone within 10 mins. I didn't use York as we can't get them in the UK, so I used Bendicks bittermints but they were still amazing.

These brownies are just awesome. I initially had some difficulty distributing the batter evenly throughout the bottom of the pan and on the sides, but I was actually able to wipe off the oil before baking. Like other users, I found it helpful to push the peppermint patties down into the first layer of better. I am a novice at baking and cooking alike, so I was quite pleased when I pulled out a perfect creation- Minty, somewhat creamy, and very decadent. I did not experience the problems of the bronies sticking to the pan or the patties exploding out of the top or bottom of the brownies.

What a great brownie! I baked them for just about 50 minutes and they stayed super moist. They were a great hit at the office, I will make these again!
