Mint Chocolate Brownies

These Mint Chocolate Brownies will make everyone in the world fall in love with the mint chocolate flavor combination. They're ooey, gooey, and perfectly fudgy and minty!

Call me crazy, but I feel like the mint/chocolate combination is one of the most divisive in the world. People either LOVE it or HATE it. I can't get enough of it and can't stand to see anymore mint chocolate hate.

So, I'm offering you these mint chocolate brownies, which I think you'll try and then automatically agree that mint and chocolate go together more than anything in the world (aside from peanut butter and chocolate, of course).

I recently made these mint brownies for some company I had visiting because I wanted to whip something up quickly for them to snack on right when they got into town. The recipe is pretty basic and quick to make, but with their perfectly gooey and minty center, they totally hit the spot!

🍫 How to make mint chocolate brownies

This is an easy recipe, but the brownie batter is way more delicious than average because it's made with actual melted chocolate instead of just cocoa powder. Melted chocolate will always make your brownies way more fudge-y and decadent. And they're really not that much more difficult to make.

Simply put butter and chocolate in a medium heatproof bowl set over a saucepan of gently simmering water (alternatively, you can use a double broiler). Stir butter/chocolate occasionally just until both are melted, about 4- 5 minutes. Remove from heat.

Whisk sugar and salt into the chocolate mixture until smooth. Whisk in eggs until fully combined. Gently whisk in flour and cocoa powder just until smooth, taking care not to over-mix.

Once you have the batter made, you'll pour a third of it into an 8x8 baking dish and then layer on your peppermint patties. Then pour the rest of the batter over the top before baking.

This is one brownie recipe where I definitely licked the spoon!

We should also talk a little bit about how underrated peppermint patty candies are. Man, I could eat so many of these!

Bake away, let cool, and then slice mint chocolate brownies into squares. Little squares because these are SO incredibly rich

But in the best way possible. They're seriously ooey gooey and everything you really want in a brownie. Plus MINT! If you think you don't like the mint chocolate flavor combination, I still insist that you try these mint chocolate brownies because something tells me you might change your mind.

The chocolate is so rich and dark and the mint is such a nice light complement to it. Balance is everything in life, my friends!
