Did you know yesterday was National Peppermint Patty Day? And the day before was National Cream Cheese Brownie day? Oh be still my dessert loving heart! I wanted to create a treat to celebrate both holidays and came up with this Peppermint Patty Cream Cheese Brownies recipe. It’s really easy when all you have to do is use your favorite brownie recipe and create a delicious cream cheese frosting.
