Instructions
To Make the Brownies
Preheat oven to 350F°F and prep a square baking pan with non-stick spray or parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, cream the sugar and butter until light and fluffy (about 2 minutes).
Add the eggs and vanilla and mix until incorporated.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the cocoa powder, flour, salt and baking powder.
Add half of the dry ingredients into the butter-sugar mixture, beat well, then add remaining half.
Fold in 1/2 cup white chocolate peppermint chips and then spread the mixture into the prepared baking dish.
Bake for 25-30 minutes, until the center is firm to the touch and the edges are crisp and pull away from the edges of the pan.
Allow to cool.
To Make the White Chocolate Frosting
Add milk, butter and sugar to a medium saucepan over medium heat. Stir until melted and smooth.
Remove from heat and then add the vanilla extract and white chocolate chips. Stir until completely melted.
Pour the white chocolate ganache over the brownies and smooth with a spatula.
Sprinkle the additional white chocolate peppermint bits or crushed candy canes on the ganache while it is still wet. Let set.
