Chocolate peppermint brownies—oh, my! Ever since we publishedGreg Case’s recipeback in 2002, these have been one of my favorite things in the world. Now along comesDavid Lebovitzwith a recipe that threatens to replace Greg’s in my recipe collection.David’s recipeis an adaptation of a Maida Heatter recipe, and since they’ve both got solid-gold credentials when it comes to desserts, I’m willing to bet this one will be pretty killer. They look simple to make, too: You just layer brownie batter with chocolate-covered thin mints (the candy kind, not the Girl Scout cookies).

Be sure you read the whole post and not just the recipe. Contained within is a great tip born from much experience on how to make any brownie taste ever better.
