candy eyes, chocolate chips, icing pens for decorating
Instructions
Preheat oven to 350. Lightly butter an 8-inch
square metal baking pan and line with parchment
paper, leaving a 2-inch overhang on all sides. In
a large bowl, whisk together flour, cocoa powder,
baking powder, and salt. In a medium saucepan,
melt butter, sugar, and bittersweet chocolate over
medium, stirring frequently, until smooth. Add to
flour mixture and stir to combine. Stir in eggs
and vanilla, then let cool to room temperature, 10
minutes.
Transfer batter to pan. Press 16 peppermint patties
evenly into batter and, with a small offset spatula,
evenly spread batter to completely cover patties.
Bake until cake is puffed and just set, about 35
minutes. Let cool on a wire rack, 25 minutes, then
top with 16 peppermint patties. Let cool 25
minutes more, then decorate peppermint patties
with candy eyes and chocolate chip ears.
Refrigerate until chocolate is set, 5 minutes.
Using parchment, lift cake from pan and cut into
16 squares. Decorate with icing pens.
