These aren’t any ordinary brownies! These have the taste of chocolate mint cookies, but a rich, hand-held bite, this is a recipe that will get repeat requests!
These brownies are soft and chewy with a creamy mint layer and a rich chocolate topping. The layers need time to chill between so they’re great to make ahead.
Ingredients
BROWNIE BATTER: Bittersweet chocolate and cocoa powder give the brownies a deep, rich flavor. MINT LAYER: The mint layer is similar to buttercream but a little bit thicker. Make it as minty or green as desired! Gently fold in crushed peppermint candies for a little crunch and extra minty flavor! TOP LAYER: Adding a little bit of oil to the chocolate on top keeps it from cracking as you bite into the brownie.
We love homemade brownies but this can be made with a box of brownie mix too! If the brownie mix is 9×13 or family size, you’ll need to double the mint and chocolate layers.
How to Make Mint Chocolate Brownies
For the brownies: Once the brownies are completely cooled, prepare the mint filling and spread it overtop. Finally add the chocolate and chill to set.
Tips for Brownies
Chop the bittersweet chocolate squares into small pieces for faster melting in the microwave. Line the pan with foil or parchment to make the brownies easy to lift out and cut. Do not overcook the brownies. Let each layer cool before adding the next which keeps the filling from melting. Chill the finished recipe 30 minutes before cutting for cleaner slices.
How to Store
Chocolate mint brownies taste best when they are room temperature or just slightly chilled! Store them in the refrigerator in a sealed container for about 4-5 days. Let them sit at room temperature for about 20 minutes before serving. To freeze brownies, cut and wrap individually and place them in a zippered bag or a sealed container. Then, simply pop one or two out for a grab-and-go treat!
