Mint Brownies
Sometimes, only the flavors of mint and chocolate will do and if you're looking at that picture right there, I bet this is one of those times.
Ingredients
- 1 cup unsalted butter melted
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 3/4 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 2 cups powdered sugar
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter softened
- 1 1/2 teaspoons peppermint extract
- 1-2 tablespoons milk
- 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 5 tablespoons unsalted butter
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F. Line a 9x13 inch baking pan with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, mix melted butter, granulated sugar, and cocoa powder until combined. Add eggs and vanilla extract, mixing well.
- Stir in flour and salt until the batter is smooth. Pour into the prepared baking pan.
- Bake for 20-25 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out mostly clean. Allow to cool completely in the pan.
- For the mint layer, beat together powdered sugar, softened butter, peppermint extract, and milk until smooth. Spread evenly over cooled brownies.
- For the chocolate topping, melt chocolate chips and butter together in the microwave or over a double boiler until smooth. Pour over the mint layer.
- Refrigerate for at least 1 hour to set the chocolate. Cut into squares before serving.
