York Sensational Brownies

Give me the chocolate and no one gets hurt! That’s how I’m feeling today:) These brownies are unbelievable!

1 1/2 c. butter
3 c. sugar
1 Tbsp. vanilla
5 eggs
1 c. cocoa
2 c. flour
1 tsp. baking powder
1 tsp. salt
24 small peppermint patties

Cream margarine and sugar together.  Add eggs and vanilla.  Mix well.  Add dry ingredients. Reserve 2 c. batter for later.  Spread all but the reserved 2 c. of batter into a greased 9×13 pan.  Unwrap patties and place them on top of the batter.  Cover with remaining 2 c. of batter and bake at 350 for 50-55 min.

Cool completely before cutting.
