Ingredients
For the wet ingredients:
- ½ cup butter, melted
- 4 oz unsweetened baking chocolate
- ¾ cup brown sugar
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 2 eggs
For the dry ingredients:
- ¾ cup flour
- ¼ tsp salt
- ½ tsp baking powder
- ¾ cup mint baking chips
Instructions
Melt the butter and chocolate
- Melt the butter and chocolate together in a saucepan over medium heat. Whisk continuously with a whisk or a fork until both the butter and chocolate have melted and come together in a smooth mixture.
- Take the mixture off the heat and let cool for five minutes.
Add the vanilla extract, brown sugar, and eggs
- Now add the vanilla extract and brown sugar to the saucepan. Whisk until combined.
- Now add the eggs to the saucepan. Whisk until the eggs are completely combined. The mixture should be smooth, shiny, and thick. (Like chocolate pudding.)
Add the dry ingredients
- Next add the flour, salt and baking powder to the saucepan. Stir the dry ingredients in until the flour is almost completely incorporated.
- Now add in the mint chips, and stir until the the chips and the dry ingredients are just incorporated into the wet ingredients. Don’t overmix.
Bake the brownies
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees, and oil an 8x8 inch glass baking dish.
- Spread the brownie batter evenly into the baking dish. Smooth the top with an offset spatula.
- Bake at 350 degrees for 30 minutes, until a toothpick inserted in the middle of the brownies comes out mostly clean.
Serve and enjoy
- Let the brownies cool for 20 minutes before slicing. Serve and enjoy!
