Ingredients:
- 1 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 2 cups granulated sugar
- 4 large eggs
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup semisweet chocolate chips
- 1 cup mint chocolate chips (or green mint candies)
Instructions:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9×13 inch baking pan with cooking spray or line it with parchment paper for easier removal.
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the melted butter and granulated sugar until well combined. This creates a smooth and glossy mixture, which adds to the texture of the brownies.
- Add the eggs one at a time, whisking well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract, ensuring everything is blended before moving on to the dry ingredients.
- In a separate bowl, sift together the flour, cocoa powder, and salt. Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture using a spatula, being careful not to overmix.
- Once the batter is well combined, gently fold in the semisweet chocolate chips and mint chocolate chips, ensuring they’re evenly distributed throughout the batter.
- Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan, spreading it evenly with a spatula. Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out with a few moist crumbs.
- Allow the brownies to cool in the pan for at least 10 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely. Once cooled, cut them into squares and serve.
Extra Tips:
For an extra layer of flavor, consider adding a few drops of peppermint extract to the batter alongside the vanilla. If you like a more intense mint flavor, you can also use mint-flavored chocolate chips instead of regular semisweet ones.
These brownies can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for several days, or you can freeze them for longer storage.
Enjoy your minty chocolate delight!
