Peppermint Brownie Bark

29 Nov 2020 Family, Recipes, Uncategorized

Grace and I had so much fun this week making this delicious peppermint brownie bark! We wanted to come up with something different than our usual Christmas cookies and Grace was begging for brownies so I killed two birds with one stone 🤣

The recipe is SUPER easy! I love using Ghiradelli brownie mix, there is something about it that knocks all other brownie mixes out of the park! You simply bake the brownies according to the instructions on the box and add a drop or two of peppermint vitality essential oil, but instead of using the usual baking dish, you use a baking SHEET and get it as thin as possible to give it that “bark” look. Also, cook the brownies according to the box instructions for a 9 x 13. Even though the batter is spread thinner, the cooking time will make it so it’s crunchy on the outsides and a bit softer on the insides. It also really helps to line the baking sheets with parchment paper (sprayed with a non-stick baking spray). I love these pre-cut parchment sheets, one less step you need to take!

While the brownies are cooling, melt white chocolate in the microwave by heating in 30-second intervals, stirring after each interval. Place melted chocolate into a ziplock bag and set aside until the brownies are completely cool. Cut a very small corner off of the ziplock bag. Drizzle white chocolate all over the brownies in a quick zigzag pattern, and add a smashed candy cane sprinkle!

To make these cute for gift-giving, I bought clear cello bags, round Avery stickers and some red and white bakers twine. I designed a fun JOY printable for you to make your stickers with (download free template here) which ties it all together! Perfect to give your neighbors, servicemen and women, friends and family this season!

We’re currently in Phase 1 of our Costa Rican ad We’re currently in Phase 1 of our Costa Rican adventure. This is the two week decompression period where we train our bodies and minds to slow down (this is more for me than anyone else), and let me tell you, I’m lapping it up.  We’re spending all day outside at the beach, going to bed early, eating lots of fresh fruit and healthy foods, swimming in the ocean, I’m working out and meditating in the mornings, and having fun together. For someone who is usually always in high gear, this part is my gift to myself 🐚 

We are staying at a beautiful place in papagayo with @exclusiveresorts and it feels very luxurious and restorative. 

The kids are already thriving. Being together 24/7 comes with its arguments and fights but they are learning how to just be with each other and with their crazy little brother. They’re helping a lot with him, learning a little Spanish, surfing, writing in their journals, and meeting kids from all over the world who are staying here as well. 

I’m letting us get pampered for this phase, and it feels really good. 

Thanks for coming along, I hope your year is off to an amazing start! Is there anything specific you’d like me to share about while we’re in this phase? I was thinking about sharing my morning workouts and meditations, but let me know!
Recently, I downloaded the Melissa Wood health app Recently, I downloaded the Melissa Wood health app @melissawoodtepperberg @melissawoodhealth and so far I’m loving the workouts. I try and do one every morning. They’re super quick so sometimes I do two. I like that they are gentle but hard. They incorporate a lots of yoga, pilates, breathing, stretching, balancing and all that good stuff. You can see from the videos I’m pretty shaky in the first couple clips, that balance is tough but I’m building up my strength, I can feel it 💪🏻
