  • Cool completely.
  • Frost brownies, then sprinkle with crushed candy canes.
  • Drizzle with room temperature hot fudge or thickened choc;ate surup (see notes) and you are ready to go. Cut into pieces and enjoy!

Notes

Crush candy canes in your food processor or let the kids have a go at it. Simply put the canes in a sandwich bad, double it with another bag then let the kids give it some good whacks with a rubber mallet or rolling pin.
To thicken chocolate syrup, simply add 2-3 TBS to ¾ cup of syrup, stir until smooth and the consistency you desire.
