PEPPERMINT CREME BROWNIES
There are TWO things I love during the holidays...peppermint and chocolate. Actually, I splash Coffeemate Peppermint Mocha creamer in my coffee year round. So my love for this combo runs deep. That's why these are my favorite and the reason I can only make them once a year. Otherwise my belly would look just like Santa's. If you can't live without this combo, then get baking sista!
