    Why You’ll Love This Recipe

    If you're a fan of brownies but need a gluten-free option, this recipe is a game changer. The use of buckwheat flour not only makes these brownies gluten-free but also adds a unique, nutty flavor that complements the dark chocolate beautifully. Plus, the peppermint white chocolate bark adds a burst of flavor that makes these brownies truly irresistible.

    Key Ingredients and Their Benefits

    • Dark Chocolate: A rich source of antioxidants and the star of our brownies, giving them a deep, luxurious flavor.
    • Unsalted Butter: Adds a creamy texture and enhances the richness of the chocolate.
    • Buckwheat Flour: A gluten-free powerhouse, buckwheat flour is high in fiber and nutrients, and it provides a delightful texture.
    • Peppermint Extract: Offers a refreshing contrast to the rich chocolate, making each bite exhilarating.
    • Peppermint White Chocolate Bark: A festive and visually appealing topping, it adds a crunchy texture and minty sweetness.
