* 1 tsp Vanilla Extract
* 2 tsp Peppermint Extract
* 1/2 Cup Flour

* Next add in your flour, cocoa powder, baking powder and mix again.
* Once all ingredients are fully combined, add in your chocolate chips/chunks and fold it slowly so it’s even distributed in the batter.
* Pour brownie batter into the square baking pan and make sure to spread the layer evenly to each corner so it will bake evenly .
* Bake in the oven for 20 to 30 minutes or until the middle is fully cooked. You can test it by poking the middle with a toothpick or small knife and seeing the knife come out clean.
* While you’re waiting for the brownies to bake, you can start on your cream cheese frosting by combining all the ingredients in a bowl and mixing everything together. Fold in the candy canes last as the colour of the candy canes will come off in the frosting. Let frosting chill in the fridge!
