Ingredients

• 8 oz Unsweetened chocolate
• 1 cup Unsalted butter
• 5 cups Granulated sugar
• 6 pieces Large eggs
• 1 tbsp Vanilla extract
• 1.5 cups All-purpose flour
• 0.5 tsp Salt
• 25 pieces Chocolate-covered mints (e.g., Andes mints)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and line a 9x13-inch baking pan with parchment paper, leaving some overhang for easy removal.

Step 2

In a medium saucepan, melt the unsweetened chocolate and unsalted butter over low heat, stirring constantly, until smooth. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.

Step 3

In a large mixing bowl, combine the granulated sugar and eggs. Beat with an electric mixer on medium speed for about 3 minutes, until the mixture is thick and pale yellow.

Step 4

Add the vanilla extract to the sugar and egg mixture, then gradually mix in the slightly cooled chocolate and butter mixture until fully incorporated.

Step 5

In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour and salt. Slowly add the dry ingredients to the wet batter, folding gently until just combined. Avoid overmixing.

Step 6

Pour half of the batter into the prepared pan, spreading it evenly with a spatula.

Step 7

Arrange the chocolate-covered mints over the batter in a single layer, leaving a small space between each piece.

Step 8

Gently pour and spread the remaining brownie batter over the mints to cover them completely.

Step 9

Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with a few moist crumbs (avoid overbaking).

Step 10

Remove the brownies from the oven and let cool completely in the pan. Once cooled, use the parchment paper overhang to lift the brownies out of the pan for easy slicing.

Step 11

Cut into 16 squares and serve. Enjoy the rich chocolate flavor paired with the refreshing burst of mint!
