Super simple peppermint brownies

The combination of chocolate and peppermint around the holidays is - to me, anyway - what I would imagine the pumpkin spice latte is to the basic white girl: a must. I've tried many methods of fusing these two flavors, including peppermint leaves and/or peppermint extract in the brownie batter, crushed peppermint candy canes sprinkled atop - but this method is by far the easiest and the most chocolate-y.

This recipe is embarrassingly easy.

But that doesn't mean it isn't any good.
