These brownies were EXCELLENT! Easy and quick to make, and my kids absolutely loved them!

I had the same difficulty as the previous poster--the patties sunk to the bottom and glued themselves to the pan. I'm hoping I can salvage it.

I took these to a pot luck at work and they didn't last long. They are so rich that you could easily cut them into smaller bars and still be satisfied. If you don't like peppermint, then these bars aren't for you.

I made this and it was awful. The peppermint patties were all melted and stuck to the pan and it was all googy inside even though I gave it alittle longer in the oven. I wasted alot of ingredients which ended up in the garbage. I will never make this again.
