Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line an 8x8-inch baking pan with foil or parchment paper, lightly spraying it with cooking oil.

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together eggs, melted butter, brown sugar, and white sugar until smooth. Add vanilla extract and peppermint extract if desired.

In a separate bowl, mix flour, cocoa powder, and salt until combined.

Gradually add the dry mixture to the wet ingredients, folding gently until just combined.

Fold in chocolate chips evenly throughout the batter.

Pour the batter into the prepared pan and bake for 25-28 minutes until a toothpick comes out with moist crumbs.

Allow the brownies to cool slightly before preparing the topping.

In a microwave-safe bowl, combine white chocolate chips and coconut oil. Heat until melted and smooth.

Spread the melted white chocolate over the cooled brownies and sprinkle with crushed peppermint candies. Chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes before cutting into squares.
