Okay, we have almost made it to the end of the 7-treat baking day treats. Just one more after today.I chose these Mint-filled Brownie cupcakes because I needed to make something chocolately, they are super easy-you mix them in one pan, and once again, the single servings were already in the recipe.
These are a basic brownie batter with a York Peppermint Patty in the middle.
The recipe comes from Martha Stewart's Cupcakes. Which I can honestly say I have gotten great use out of so far.
You can find this recipe all over the web, just by typing in Mint-filled Brownie Cupcakes and I have linked to one of those posts if you want the recipe and for some reason do not have this cookbook yet (It is a good one!)
Martha says to melt the chocolate and butter together over a pot of simmering water, but I didn't do that. When I was young, we always made brownies in a pot on the stovetop. Yes, the pot was right on the heat. It worked every time. I figured it would work this time and it did. I saved an extra dish from having to be washed.
Go ahead and do it her way if you want, but just know that it works the other way too.
Make sure you completely cover the peppermint patty with batter, so it won't leak through.
I doubled this recipe and my kids actually had to taste test these. They were a hit.
I was thinking they might be good with other kinds of candy in the middle too, but didn't have time to experiment.
