• 1-1/2 cups (3 sticks) butter or margarine, melted
• 3 cups sugar
• 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
• 5 eggs
• 2 cups all purpose flour
• 1 cup cocoa (I use Hersheys)
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 24 small peppermint patties (I use York)

In large bowl with spoon or wire whisk, stir together butter, sugar and vanilla. Add eggs; stir until well blended. Stir in flour, cocoa, baking powder and salt, blend well. Reserve (2 Cups) batter; set aside.

Spread remaining butter in prepared pan. Arrange peppermint patties in single layer over batter about 1 / 2 inch apart. Spread reserved 2 cups of batter over patties
