This week my boyfriend’s work had a cookie exchange. I decided to combine two previous shenanigans to make up my own brand new recipe of Chocolate Peppermint Cake Mix Cookies! In the past I have made traditional cake mix cookies and peppermint brownie bites. I decided to combine these recipes to make a fun and festive holiday inspired cookies.

Here’s what you will need for your chocolate peppermint cookies:

  • 1 Package of Chocolate Cake Mix
  • 1/2 cup of softened butter
  • 2 eggs
  • Hershey’s Candy Cane Kisses (many times these are not carried in grocery stores, but convenience stores, I normally find these at Walgreens or CVS)

3) Bake for 7-9 minutes. Unwrap your candy cane chocolate kisses.

4) Remove from oven, let them sit for 1 minute than transfer them to a second (cooler pan) and quickly add the peppermint chocolate.
