Combine cocoa powder, dark brown sugar, and granulated sugar in a large bowl. Whisk in the melted butter and espresso mixture until well combined. Add the eggs one at a time, beating thoroughly between each addition. Stir in the vanilla and peppermint extracts.
4 Mix in the salt and flour until well combined, then evenly spread the batter in the prepared pan. Bake the brownies for 25-30 minutes, adding crushed peppermint candy halfway through. Test the brownies by inserting a toothpick into the center of the pan. If the toothpick comes out with damp batter, the brownies are not yet fully baked. The brownies are done when only a few moist crumbs remain.
5 After baking, let the pan cool on a wire rack before cutting into squares. Store any leftover brownies in an airtight container at room temperature for 3-4 days.
