Skillet brownies have an extraordinary flavor. They are delicious, and everyone will gobble them up.
I like to bring these Skillet Brownies to holiday parties because they don’t take me long to make. This time of year, there are always a ton of parties!

How to Make Skillet Brownies
Making these Skillet Brownies will take less than an hour from start to finish. I love adding a scoop of vanilla ice cream to them, and you’ll love it, too.
This is such a special treat for the grandkids when they come over! If you love this recipe, you’ll also love my Caramel Apple Crisp, Oreo Pudding Dessert, or Peppermint French Vanilla Cake Dip.
Step One
For these Skillet Brownies, you will want to preheat the oven to (350°F) = (176°C) degrees. While you’re doing that, grease an 8-inch pan. Doing both of these steps early in the baking process is essential.
Step Two
In a medium saucepan, melt the butter. Remove from heat and pour into a mixing bowl. I love watching the butter and how it melts!
Step Three
This step is easy: add sugar, eggs, vanilla, and peppermint.
Step Four
In a separate bowl, combine flour, cocoa powder, salt, and baking powder. Isn’t it satisfying to see all of those dry ingredients come together?!
Step Five
Take the time to mix the wet ingredients! If whisking by hand, do at least 25 turns.
Step Six
Pour into a mixing bowl and combine the dry ingredients well with the wet ingredients to remove lumps.
Step Seven
Spread into a greased pan. Bake for 25-35 minutes. The brownies should still be soft when you remove them from the oven. Do not overbake!
These brownies are dark and rich. Let them cool completely.
When cool, serve with some vanilla ice cream. Cooking time will vary depending on the size of your skillet.
