In a small mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, and salt.  In a double-boiler, melt together the chocolate and butter, stirring occasionally.  Transfer chocolate to a large mixing bowl and stir in the sugar, eggs, vanilla and peppermint extracts.  Stir in the flour mixture until just combined.  Spread into prepared pan.
  3. For peppermint patty: Beat together the cream cheese and sugar in a small mixing bowl.  Beat in the egg and peppermint extract until combined, and then beat in the flour. Dollop over brownie batter, then swirl in with a knife or spatula.
  4. Place foil pan in a second foil pan for stability and insulation.  Place on hot grill away from heat.  Cover and grill/bake 20 to 30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted 2-inches from the edge of the pan come away almost clean.  Rotate pan halfway through baking.  Remove from grill and cool completely.
