Holly cow…some one seriously needs to stop me.

I ate pretty much the entire batch of these.  I saved a few for my hubby and kids to try (I was in a sharing mood)

Hope none of you are on a diet.

Lets get started…..I need to make more of these little devils.

First make a batch of brownies. Let them cool and cut into squares, about 1 inch by 1 inch.

These start out just like the Cake Batter Candies.

First mix up your condensed milk and 1 cup of powdered sugar. Add your peppermint oil (or extract)  and vanilla. Add in remaining powdered sugar 1 cup at a time, until it becomes firm.

Take 1 tsp of your peppermint mix and place it on 1 brownie. Pop in the freezer for about 10 min.

In a microwave safe bowl, melt your chocolate and shortening until smooth.

Take your frozen peppermint brownie concoction and dip it in the chocolate. Rest it on a fork and let any extra chocolate drip off.

Pop in freezer for 5-10 min to set up.

Eat….or send to me
