Joe’s Peppermint Cookies N Cream Brownies, Tired of eating Candy-Cane Joe-Joe cookies straight out of the box? Try them in this recipe! (note: this year I’ve also seen peppermint Oreos, so you could use those if you don’t have a Trader Joes near you) These delicious, fudge-y brownies are made with the popular candy-cane chocolate wafer cookie available at Trader Joe’s during the holidays Make these early in the day as they slice best when cooled completely , I was so excited to try this recipe! used a boxed Betty Crocker brownie mix because easy and they always come out perfect! I was sad Trader Joe’s was out of peppermint Joe Joe’s, we bought a box a couple weeks ago and loved them but they said sell out fast used mint Oreo’s which has a light green filling I sprinkled crushed candy cane on top, how ever you couldn’t see much of it at the end It was there when I checked the brownies but after I reset the timer for 5 more min they all sank into the brownie- I was bummed so not many pretty red pieces on mine However now that I see a few of the candy cane pieces it looks a little funny melted so I might like better not adding? Maybe I should sprinkle very crushed pieces on top after cooked? The Oreos crushed on top didn’t look pretty and were soft Not a crunchy topping so I think next time I wont crush them for the top so it looks prettier, but maybe I didn’t like the look of mine because mine were light green filling Anyway they taste wonderful and that’s what counts I really enjoyed them cold out of the fridge more then served at room temp Thanks for the fun idea I will make again next Christmas!, I am going to wait until I make this again to add my stars I had bought my mint cookies after the hoidays when they were on sale I had started to make these browinie and set my helper DD on the task of breaking up the cookies while I was making the batter She used the regular oreos by mistake so I upped the mint extract to 1/2 teaspoon I though they were ok this way, but not as minty as I would have liked The kids loved them and DH gave them 4 out of 5 I guess I will have to wait until holiday time to try to make these again, as no one has these cookies anymore But I am looking forward to it and I will add our star rating to the review at that time
