Instructions
Brownies: Soften margarine or butter and place in a large bowl or mixer. Add the cocoa, butter and eggs and beat until smooth. Add remaining ingredients and mix together until incorporated. Pour into a greased cookie sheet and bake at 350 for 29-32 minutes, or until brownies are cooked through. Don't over bake, you will want your brownies a little under done. Let brownies cool and then frost with the peppermint frosting.
Peppermint Frosting: Cream the butter and sugar together until smooth. Add enough milk to make the frosting a smooth and soft texture. Add the extract, vanilla and dash of salt. Add the food coloring and beat until frosting is ready to spread over brownies.
Ganache Glaze: Put chocolate chips and whipping cream in a microwave safe bowl. Microwave for 40-60 seconds, or until chips are melted smooth. Stir together until smooth and the consistency of hot fudge. Pour ganache over the mint frosting on top of the brownies. Sprinkle the crushed candy canes on top of the ganache and let cool. Cut into squares once topping is cooled.
