Equipment

9x13 Inch Baking Dish
Mixing Bowl

Ingredients

1 cup butter
8 squares unsweetened chocolate
5 eggs
3¾ cups sugar
2 teaspoons vanilla
½ teaspoon salt
⅛ almond extract
1⅔ cup flour
1 cup semi sweet chocolate chips optional
24 small York Peppermint Patties (one small bag should have 24, however I was ripped off and mine only had 23)

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 425.
Grease a 9x13" baking dish.
Melt the butter and unsweetened chocolate in a pan over low heat, stirring often. Set aside.
In a mixing bowl beat the eggs, sugar, vanilla, salt and almond extract for 3-4 minutes.
Add the melted chocolate mixture and flour. Mix until incorporated.
Stir in the chocolate chips.
Spread half of the batter into the buttered pan. If you are using a kitchen scale, that is about 32 oz.
Unwrap your peppermint patties and line them up over the top of the bottom layer of batter.
Cover the patties with the second half of the batter.
Bake at 425 for 22 minutes.
Cool and then refrigerate at least 6 hours. Enjoy!

Notes

This could also be made with a boxed brownie mix. Follow the instructions on the box to make the brownies and substitute the batter for the homemade brownie batter.
