Chocolate Mint Brownies

Name: Chocolate Mint Brownies
Ingredients: 8 tablespoons (1 stick) unsalted butter; 2 ounces unsweetened baking chocolate; 1/2 cup sugar; 2 eggs; 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract; 75 grams dark chocolate mint bar (I used Lindt; you can use regular dark chocolate if you can't find a dark chocolate mint bar), chopped; 1 cup all-purpose flour; 1/2 teaspoon baking powder; 1/2 teaspoon salt; 1/2 cup crushed peppermint candy (candy canes work well)

Ingredients

8 tablespoons (1 stick) unsalted butter
2 ounces unsweetened baking chocolate
1/2 cup sugar
2 eggs
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
75 grams dark chocolate mint bar (I used Lindt; you can use regular dark chocolate if you can't find a dark chocolate mint bar), chopped
1 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup crushed peppermint candy (candy canes work well)

Directions

1

Preheat the oven to 350° F. Grease an 8- by 8-inch baking pan.
2

In a medium saucepan, melt the butter with the unsweetened chocolate. Stir until smooth and completely melted.
3

Remove from the heat and stir in the sugar, eggs, vanilla, and mint chocolate. Stir until smooth.
4

In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt.
5

Add the flour to the chocolate and stir until the batter is smooth.
6

Stir in the crushed peppermint and pour the batter into the prepared pan.
7

Bake for 25 to 30 minutes, or until the brownies begin to pull away from the edges of the pan and a tester inserted into the center comes out clean with just a few moist crumbs clinging to it.
8

Let the brownies cool in the pan before slicing.
