Ingredients

1 cup unsalted butter (melted)
2 cups granulated sugar
4 large eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 cup all-purpose flour
1 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
½ teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon baking powder
½ cup crushed candy canes (for topping)
½ cup holiday sprinkles (red and green)

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9x13 inch baking pan.
In a mixing bowl, combine melted butter and sugar, then add eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition along with vanilla extract.
In another bowl, whisk together flour, cocoa powder, salt, and baking powder. Gradually mix this into the wet ingredients until just combined.
Pour the batter into the prepared pan and bake for 25-30 minutes or until a toothpick comes out with moist crumbs.
Let the brownies cool completely before frosting.
For the frosting, beat softened butter until creamy, then gradually add powdered sugar while mixing. Add heavy cream and peppermint extract; mix until smooth.
Spread frosting over cooled brownies and top with crushed candy canes and sprinkles.
