Peppermint Brownies

Brownies
3/4 cup canola oil
2 cups sugar
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
4 eggs
1 1/3 cups all-purpose flour
1 cup baking cocoa
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon salt
3/4 cup crushed peppermint candy, divided

Glaze:
1 Cup (six ounces) semisweet chocolate chips
1 tablespoon shortening

Line a 13 in. x 9 in. baking pan with foil; grease foil and set aside. In a large bowl, beat oil and sugar until blended. Beat in vanilla. Add eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Combine the flour, cocoa, baking powder and salt; gradually add to oil mixture. Set aside two tablespoons peppermint candy for garnish; stir in remaining candy. Spread into prepared pan.

Bake at 350 degrees for 35 to 40 minutes or until a toothpick inserted near the center comes out clean. Cool on a wire rack.

For glaze, in a microwave, melt chocolate chips and shortening; stir until smooth. Spread over brownies; sprinkle with reserved candy.
