Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup unsalted butter
- 1.5 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1.25 cups granulated sugar
- 0.5 cups brown sugar, packed
- 4 pieces large eggs
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 0.25 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 10 ounces Junior Mints candy
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease or line a 9x13-inch baking dish with parchment paper and set aside.
In a medium saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Once melted, remove from heat and stir in the semi-sweet chocolate chips until smooth and fully melted. Let the mixture cool slightly.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the granulated sugar, brown sugar, eggs, and vanilla extract until well combined.
Gradually pour in the melted chocolate and butter mixture, whisking constantly until smooth.
In a separate bowl, sift together the flour, cocoa powder, and salt. Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
Pour half of the brownie batter into the prepared baking dish and spread it evenly with a spatula.
Scatter the Junior Mints evenly over the batter layer, ensuring good coverage. Then spread the remaining batter over the Junior Mints to cover them completely.
Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out mostly clean (a few crumbs are fine). Be careful not to overbake, as the brownies will continue to set as they cool.
Remove the brownies from the oven and allow them to cool completely in the pan before slicing into squares.
Serve and enjoy the rich, minty goodness of your Junior Mint Brownies!
