Mint Chocolate Brownies

I recently made these Mint Chocolate Brownies for some company I had visiting. I wanted to whip something up quickly for them to snack on right when they got into town. These are pretty basic and quick to make but with they’re gooey and minty center they hit the spot!

Line an 8″ square baking dish with aluminum foil then butter the foil.


Put chocolate and butter in a heatproof bowl and set over a saucepan of simmering water. Gently stir until melted; remove from heat and mix in sugar and salt.

Gently whisk in eggs, cocoa powder and flour until smooth.


Pour and spread 1/3 of the batter into the dish.


If you’re lucky, like me, to have a great roommate, they’ll offer to unwrap the peppermint patties :)

Arrange peppermint patties on first layer of batter


Pour remaining batter over peppermint patties, bake for 45-55 minutes at 350 degrees.
