INSTRUCTIONS

Make the Brownies

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Line 9×13 inch baking pan with foil, leaving a 2-inch overhang on two sides; coat the foil with cooking spray, set aside.
  • Stir in sugar and eggs.
  • Whisk in flour, cocoa powder, and salt.
  • Stir in chopped hazelnuts.
  • Pour Brownie Batter into prepared pan.
  • Using an electric mixer, beat cream cheese, sugar, egg, and peppermint extract until smooth.
  • Swirl the cream cheese mixture into the brownie batter in the pan. Bake for 35-40 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Let cool. Cut brownies into small, bite-sized cubes.
