1/3 cup whole milk
1/4 cup butter
1 (12 ounce) bag semi-sweet chocolate chips

Preheat oven to 325. Then prepare a 9x9 inch baking dish by spraying lightly with non-stick cooking spray. Cut a piece of parchment paper to the width of the bottom of your pan but long enough to extend over the edge of the right and left sides of the pan.
Sift brownie mix to eliminate any clumps. Then add melted butter, water eggs and 1/4 teaspoon of peppermint extract. Mix by hand just until dry ingredients are incorporated.
Pour into prepared pan. Bake according to package directions. Let cool.
Beat togetheri cup powdered sugar and 1/2 cup softened butter. Mix in another 1/2 cup powdered sugar, then add 1 tablespoon milk and peppermint and vanilla extracts. SPread frosting evenly over the top. Place brownies in fridge to firm up frosting.
Bring 1/3 cup milk and 1/4 cup butter almost to a boil over medium heat. Pour chocolate chips into a heat-safe bowl. Pour milk mixture over the top and let sit for 5 minutes. Add 1 teaspoon vanilla and whisk until smooth. Use an electric mixer to beat in 1 cup powdered sugar until frosting is smooth. This will make for than you need, so remove 1/4-1/3 cup frosting and reserve for another use.

I thought with the holidays coming, we could post recipes for cookies, candies, bar cookies, brownies etc here to share with everyone. !@! Since I love to bake let's see lots of yummy recipes here! :)))
Cheesecake Brownies
1 package (18-1/4 ounces) German chocolate cake mix
1 egg, beaten
1/2 cup butter or margarine, melted
1 cup chopped nuts
TOPPING:
1 package (8 ounces) cream cheese, softened
1 cup sugar
2 eggs, beaten
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
In a mixing bowl, combine cake mix, egg, butter and nuts; mix well. Press into a greased
13-in. x 9-in. x 2-in. baking pan; set aside. Combine topping ingredients in another mixing
bowl and beat until smooth. Carefully spread over batter. Bake at 350° for 30 to 35
minutes or until golden brown. Cool on a wire rack. Store in the refrigerator.
Yield: 2 dozen.
I just made these tonite & they are so good, especially if you like cheesecake. One suggestion tho is to use a smaller pan, I used a 9x9 square pan & it worked perfect. A 13x9 would definitely been too big unless you doubled the recipe.
Hope its ok to still post under this topic, lol

Old Fashioned Sugar Cookies
It's magic; create round sugar cookies without making cutouts.
Shape the cookie dough into balls, and they flatten into rounds
as they bake.
I'm going to give these a try tonight. My son loves sugar cookies, but I hate them. But, it is Christmas afterall, so I'll try it for him.
