Can I use brownies from scratch instead of a box mix?

Yes! If you have a brownie recipe you love you can absolutely swap it. I just used a box mix for a simpler option.

Can I use left over candy canes instead of buying crushed peppermint?

Of course! If you have left over candy canes from Christmas or a few extra laying around, feel free to crush them up and use them.

Can I make these ahead of time?

You can make the brownies and store them for up to 3 days in an airtight container.

Can I freeze the peppermint brownie bites?

Yes, these will freeze well. Wrap them individually and store in an airtight container for up to two months.
