2 cup(s) sugar
1 tablespoon(s) vanilla extract
5 large eggs, beaten
24 small (such as York) peppermint patties

2. In a heavy 4-quart saucepan, melt butter with unsweetened and semisweet chocolates over low heat, stirring frequently, until smooth. Remove from heat. With wooden spoon, stir in sugar and vanilla. Add eggs; stir until well mixed. Stir flour mixture into chocolate mixture just until blended.
3. Spread half of brownie batter into prepared pan. Arrange peppermint candies in a single layer over batter, about 1/2 inch apart. Spread remaining batter over top.
