After the brownie bites cool for a few minutes, carefully remove them from the muffin tin. Drizzle the melted white chocolate over each brownie bite. For an extra festive touch, sprinkle more crushed peppermint candies on top. Allow the bites to set for about 15 minutes until the chocolate hardens. For a great presentation, arrange the brownie bites on a fun platter. Add whole peppermint sticks or more crushed candies around them for a holiday vibe. Enjoy these sweet treats!

Ingredients
  

1 cup brownie mix

2 tablespoons water

2 tablespoons vegetable oil

1 large egg

½ cup crushed peppermint candies (plus more for topping)

½ cup semi-sweet chocolate chips

½ cup white chocolate chips

1 tablespoon butter (for melting)

1 teaspoon peppermint extract

Instructions
 

In a medium mixing bowl, combine the brownie mix, water, vegetable oil, and egg. Stir vigorously until the mixture is smooth and fully incorporated.

    Gently fold in the crushed peppermint candies and semi-sweet chocolate chips into the brownie batter, ensuring an even distribution.

      Preheat your air fryer to 320°F (160°C) so it’s ready for the brownie bites.

        Line a small muffin tin with paper liners, or lightly grease each cup with cooking spray to prevent sticking.

          Carefully pour the brownie batter into each muffin liner, filling them about three-quarters full to allow for rising.

            Place the muffin tin into the air fryer basket and cook for 10-12 minutes. Check for doneness by inserting a toothpick into the center; it should come out clean when done.

              While the brownie bites are baking, melt the white chocolate chips and butter together in a microwave-safe bowl. Heat in 30-second intervals, stirring between each, until fully melted and smooth.

                Once melted, mix in the peppermint extract into the white chocolate until well integrated.

                  After the brownie bites have finished baking and cooled for a few minutes, gently remove them from the muffin tin.

                    Drizzle the melted white chocolate mixture over the top of each brownie bite for a delightful finish.

                      Sprinkle extra crushed peppermint candies on top of the drizzled white chocolate for an added festive touch.

                        Allow the brownie bites to set for approximately 15 minutes, until the white chocolate hardens.
