Dec 11, 2016 I can remember being a really little kid, visiting my great aunt’s house at Christmas and picking the chocolate-mint bar off of the cookie plate. We used to visit all the great aunts and uncles on Christmas eve, and I’d get a goodie off a cookie plate at every stop. I’d be on such a sugar high by the time we were done. I remember sitting in the back seat, looking out at the starry sky searching for the glow of Rudolph’s red nose. I can remember the itch of the wool stockings I’d wear under my Christmas dress, and the way they’d get sweaty at the knees and saggy at the butt. They were uncomfortable in so many ways. Now that I have my own little kids, I find my own childhood memories so fascinating. I wonder what they’ll remember. You must know that I inhaled a great deal of candy cane dust to bring you this festive Christmas brownie recipe. I had been crushing a lot of candy canes, and I was tired of doing it by hand (like a sucker) so I tossed a bunch in the Vitamix and boom. Crushed in a millisecond. However. I lifted the lid and stuck my face in for a better look, and a veritable cloud of minty dust was released into my nostrils (how it buuuurned) and there may still be candy cane in my lungs. It turns out I have the occupational hazards of a Christmas elf. Anyway, more importantly: candy cane Christmas brownies, peppermint buttercream frosting and chocolate ganache. GO!
