Pour brownie mix into medium mixing bowl and add espresso powder.
Prepare brownie batter according to box directions adding the peppermint extract with the wet ingredients.
Stir in espresso morsels
Pour batter into a greased baking pan. Sprinkle crushed candy canes/candies on top.
Bake according to the box directions. I like to take the brownies out just before the knife/toothpick is perfectly clean (like a wet crumb-not batter). The brownies will finish cooking in the pan and you will have perfect gooey and soft brownies!
Allow to cool and then cut and enjoy!
