Peppermint Patty Brownies

These are great--even people who don't like York's love them!

Ingredients:

24 small peppermint patties, chopped

3 cups sugar
1 tablespoon vanilla extract

1 cup Hershey's cocoa
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon salt

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (or 325 if using a glass dish).

Spread the remaining batter in the bottom of the dish. 
Sprinkle the patties in a single layer on top of the in the pan.
 Spread the reserved 2 cups of batter over the patties.  
Bake for 50-55 minutes or until brownies begin to pull away
