Kissed Peppermint Brownie Bites

Kissed Peppermint Brownie Bites

Ingredients:

1 tablespoon CRISCO Vegetable Oil

1 small bag powdered sugar

1 package BETTY CROCKER Original Supreme Brownie Mix with HERSHEY'S Syrup Packet

48 HERSHEY'S KISSES Brand Milk Chocolates

1/4 cup crushed hard peppermint candies (About 12 candies)

1 egg

3 tablespoons water

1/4 cup  Cocoa

Directions:

Stir together brownie mix, cocoa and crushed peppermint candies in large bowl. Add contents of syrup, pouch, water, egg and oil, beating until well blended. Refrigerate about 1 hour or until firm enough to roll.

Heat oven to 350°F. Line cookie sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease. Remove wrappers.

Shape dough into 1-inch balls. Roll balls in powdered sugar and place on prepared cookie sheet.

Bake 9 to 11 minutes or until set. (Some peppermint may melt out along edges of cookies. After removing from oven, immediately use edge of knife or spatula to push melted peppermint back to edges of cookie.) Cool 2 minutes. Press candy piece into center of each cookie. Slide parchment paper and cookies to wire rack or remove cookies from cookie sheet to wire rack. Cool completely. 

I use the peppermint kisses rather than the chocolate kisses. These cookies are delicious and very festive looking!
