Cream Cheese Peppermint Brownies are an easy holiday treat! Using fudgy brownie mix, these festive brownies are ready in no time.
Oh, the holidays! They are coming up on us fast. And as much as I love them, I know that getting through them will be pretty stressful. I’ve already started stocking up and prepping for the season! One way to avoid a stressful holiday season is to make sure you have ingredients on hand for last-minute holiday recipes.
One of my favorite, EASY recipes that I make throughout the holidays are these Peppermint Cream Cheese Brownies!
All you need is a box of brownie mix, a of cream cheese frosting, and some peppermint candy to get started! All three ingredients can be found at your local grocery store!
What I love most about these Peppermint Brownies is that they taste like they’re made from scratch! They are super special, but can be ready to go in the oven in about 5 minutes.
These decadent holiday brownies are popular with the kiddos because who doesn’t love brownies?
But, they’re also a hit with adults because of the additions of cream cheese frosting and crushed peppermint! They taste special and just right for the season!
I love making these Peppermint Cream Cheese Brownies for holiday celebrations. They are always super popular, and nobody believes that they aren’t from scratch! Give them a try, and let me know what you think in the comments.
