Whoever envisioned sugar plums as the dreamiest of holiday desserts has clearly never heard of Trader Joe’s Peppermint Brownies. To create these wintry wonders, our buyer asked the same baker of our customer favorite Brookies to combine their expert brownie knowledge with a seasonal suffusion of peppermint, and they truly delivered the stuff of dreams. These dense, fudgy delights offer deep, sweet cocoa flavor that’s pleasantly punctuated by cool notes of Peppermint, with white chocolate chips floating throughout, finished with a drizzle of snowy white chocolate.

The bite-size format of these rich Brownies makes them ideal for including with Candy Cane Almonds and Decked Out Tree Cookies on a candy-cuterie board — AKA a charcuterie board filled with candy & cookies instead of meats & cheeses (yes, it’s a real thing, and yes, you’ll be ever so glad you made one this season). And if you’re looking to upgrade your offering of cookies & milk for Santa, these Brownies will surely fit the bill — unless, of course, you finish them first.
