Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 170 grams unsalted butter
- 200 grams semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 200 grams granulated sugar
- 100 grams light brown sugar
- 3 pieces large eggs
- 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon peppermint extract
- 95 grams all-purpose flour
- 30 grams unsweetened cocoa powder
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 50 grams mini semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 30 grams crushed peppermint candies or candy canes (optional, for topping)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 175°C (350°F) and line an 8-inch (20 cm) square baking pan with parchment paper, leaving an overhang on the sides to help with easy removal later.
In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the unsalted butter and semi-sweet chocolate chips. Microwave in 20-second intervals, stirring after each interval, until fully melted and smooth. Allow it to cool slightly.
Stir in the granulated sugar and light brown sugar into the melted chocolate-butter mixture until well combined.
Add the eggs, one at a time, whisking vigorously after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract and peppermint extract.
In a separate bowl, sift together the flour, cocoa powder, and salt. Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture, being careful not to overmix.
Fold in the mini semi-sweet chocolate chips for added texture and flavor.
Pour the brownie batter into the prepared pan and spread it evenly. If desired, sprinkle the top with crushed peppermint candies or candy canes.
Bake for 28-32 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with a few moist crumbs. Be careful not to overbake, as you want the brownies to remain fudgy.
Allow the brownies to cool completely in the pan before lifting them out using the parchment paper overhang. Slice them into 12 squares and serve. Enjoy your fudgy minty brownies!
