Ingredients
  

  • 4 oz semi-sweet chocolate
  • 3/4 cup butter
  • 1 cups sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla
  • 3 eggs
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 8 crushed mint candies or crushed candy canes
  • Cheesecake Ingredients:
  • 1 8 oz package cream cheese
  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 3 cups whipped topping~ thawed
  • 3-4 drops mint oil or mint extract

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 350`F.
  • In a 3-quart saucepan, combine the semi-sweet chocolate and oil and heat over very low heat until melted. Remove from heat and set aside to cool.
  • In a another mixing bowl, combine the sugar, eggs and vanilla until blended. Add in the chocolate mixture. The remaining dry ingredients should be slowly sifted in, and mix until combined.
  • Spoon the batter into a mini cupcake pan sprayed with no stick cooking spray.
  • Bake the brownie bites for about 15 minutes at 350'F, or until the batter just starts to pull away from the edges of the pan.
  • Combine the cheesecake ingredients in a medium mixing bowl and blend until thoroughly combined. Add more or less mint oil to taste, but it only takes a few drops.
  • Layer the brownies and cheesecake in a pint size Mason jar.
  • Sprinkle crushed mint candies on top and tie a 1/4 inch red ribbon around the top of the jar and serve!
