3 tablespoons butter
1 1/4 cup heavy cream
3/4 cup granulated sugar

1/2 teaspoon peppermint extract
WHIPPED CREAM
2 cups heavy cream
1/4 cup confectioners’ sugar

What to Do

Bake brownies according to package directions. Cool completely, then cut into 1/2-inch chunks.
Meanwhile, in a medium saucepan over low heat, combine chocolate chips and butter. Heat until chips are melted, stirring occasionally. Stir in 1-1/4 cups heavy cream, granulated sugar and corn syrup; increase heat to medium and heat until mixture comes to low boil. Continue to boil gently 8 minutes, stirring frequently. Remove from heat, stir in 1/2 teaspoon peppermint extract. Let cool to room temperature (mixture will thicken as it cools).
To make the Whipped Cream, in a large bowl with an electric mixer, beat 2 cups heavy cream, confectioners’ sugar, and 1/2 teaspoon peppermint extract until stiff peaks form.
In individual serving glasses, evenly layer brownie chunks, chocolate sauce, whipped cream, and candy cane pieces. Repeat layers. Serve immediately.
