Mint Chocolate Brownies 🍫🌿

These Mint Chocolate Brownies are rich, fudgy, and perfectly balanced with a cool minty flavor. The combination of dark chocolate and a smooth mint layer makes them an irresistible treat for any occasion!

Ingredients

For the Brownie Base:

  • ½ cup (1 stick) unsalted butter
  • 1 cup semisweet chocolate chips
  • ¾ cup granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • ¾ cup all-purpose flour
  • ¼ tsp salt
  • 2 tbsp unsweetened cocoa powder

For the Mint Layer:

  • ½ cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 2 cups powdered sugar
  • 2 tbsp heavy cream
  • ½ tsp peppermint extract
  • A few drops of green food coloring (optional)

For the Chocolate Ganache Topping:

  • ¾ cup semisweet chocolate chips
  • 3 tbsp heavy cream
  • 1 tbsp unsalted butter

Instructions

1️⃣ Make the Brownie Base:

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line an 8x8-inch baking pan with parchment paper and lightly grease it.
  2. In a microwave-safe bowl, melt butter and chocolate chips together in 30-second intervals, stirring between each until smooth. Let cool slightly.
  3. Whisk in sugar, then add eggs one at a time, mixing well after each. Stir in vanilla extract.
  4. Sift in flour, salt, and cocoa powder, and gently fold until just combined.
  5. Pour batter into the prepared pan and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out with a few moist crumbs.
  6. Let the brownies cool completely before adding the mint layer.

2️⃣ Prepare the Mint Layer:

  1. In a mixing bowl, beat butter until creamy.
  2. Gradually mix in powdered sugar, followed by heavy cream, peppermint extract, and food coloring (if using).
  3. Spread evenly over the cooled brownies and place in the fridge for 20 minutes to firm up.

3️⃣ Make the Chocolate Ganache Topping:

  1. Heat heavy cream in a small saucepan or microwave until warm but not boiling.
  2. Pour over chocolate chips and let sit for 2 minutes. Stir until smooth, then mix in butter for extra shine.
  3. Pour ganache over the mint layer, spreading evenly. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes before slicing.

4️⃣ Serve and Enjoy!

  • Once set, cut into squares and enjoy the rich, fudgy brownies with the perfect minty finish!

Tips for the Best Mint Chocolate Brownies:

✔ Use high-quality chocolate for the richest flavor.
✔ Don’t overbake—brownies should be slightly gooey in the center.
✔ Chill between layers to get clean, defined layers.
✔ For extra mint flavor, add crushed peppermint candies on top before the ganache sets.

These brownies are perfect for holidays, parties, or just satisfying your chocolate-mint cravings. 🍫💚 Enjoy!
