Celebrate Christmas/Life Day With Your Very Own Peppermint Jawa Brownies

Star Wars Peppermint Jawa Brownies Recipe

Prep time: 20 mins
Cook time: 20 mins
Total time: 40 mins

Serves: 10-12

Ingredients

1 box prepared brownie mix
¼ cup dark or semi sweet chocolate chips
½ tsp coconut oil
1 drop peppermint extract
Gold candy pearls

Instructions

• Preheat oven to 325 F and grease your baking dish (9×13)
• Prepare brownie batter according to package.
• Instead of baking in a 9×9 or 8×8 pan, use a 9×13 inch baking dish and spread the batter.
• Bake for about 20 minutes or when an inserted toothpick comes out clean.
• Set brownies aside to cool.
• Once completely cooled, using a Jawa Cookie cutter, cut out the shapes of the Jawas and set on a cookie sheet.
• Press in the faces of the Jawas with your finger or back of a spoon.
• In a small bowl, melt your chocolate chips in 20 second increments until melted and smooth.
• Carefully drop a minimal amount of peppermint extract in the chocolate and mix. At this point you can taste the chocolate and see if you want more peppermint. A little goes a long way.
• If the chocolate is too thick you can mix some coconut butter into it to thin it out.
• Spoon the melted chocolate into the faces and add the eyes.
• Place the finished Jawas in the fridge or freezer to set.
