Description
Decadent mint brownies layers with a rich chocolate base and a refreshing mint topping.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup unsalted butter
- 2 cups granulated sugar
- 4 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup mint cream or mint extract
- 1 1/2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×13 inch baking pan.
- In a saucepan over low heat, melt the unsalted butter. Stir gently to avoid burning.
- Once melted, remove from heat and stir in the granulated sugar, eggs, and vanilla extract until smooth and shiny.
- In a separate bowl, sift together the flour, cocoa powder, and salt. Gradually mix into the wet ingredients.
- Gently fold in the chocolate chips.
- Pour the brownie batter into the prepared pan, spreading evenly. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out with a few moist crumbs.
- Allow the brownies to cool completely in the pan.
- Once cool, spread the mint cream or extract evenly over the top.
- Melt the remaining chocolate chips and drizzle over the mint layer.
- Let the brownies set before cutting into squares.
Notes
Allow the brownies to cool completely for best cutting results. If using fresh mint, steep the leaves in the butter for added flavor.
