Stir the chocolate mixture, flour and nuts into the egg mixture. Beat well. Pour into a greased and floured 9-inch square baking pan. Bake in a 350-degree oven for 25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Let cool.", "For the Peppermint Filling: Beat together all ingredients, except food coloring, until smooth. Add food coloring, a few drops at a time, until desired degree of greenness is reached. (We generally go for a pale shade, but whatever - live it up!)", "For the Chocolate Drizzle: In a double-boiler, melt chocolate and butter over hot water. Stir until smooth.", "To assemble: Spread Peppermint Filling over the Brownie Layer. Cover and chill until firm. Remove in one full piece from pan. Put slightly cooled Chocolate Drizzle in a zip-lock plastic baggie, and cut a small corner. Drizzle chocolate over, allowing green to show through. Sprinkle with crushed candy cane. Chill until set.

Tips for the best results

Read through all the steps once before you start and measure out your ingredients first — it makes everything go more smoothly.
Preheat the oven fully and bake on the middle rack for the most even results.
Check for doneness a few minutes early — a toothpick in the center should come out with just a few moist crumbs.
Let it cool before slicing so it sets properly and holds its shape.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge and enjoy within a few days.

Variations & substitutions

Use a neutral oil or a plant-based spread in place of butter for a dairy-free version.
Brown sugar instead of white sugar adds a deeper, more caramel-like flavor.
Leave out the nuts to make it nut-free, or swap in seeds for a similar crunch.
A good 1:1 gluten-free flour blend works well if you need a gluten-free version.
