Why this recipe works

Mint and chocolate – This flavour is so underrated in my opinion and really elevates these brownies!

Easy to make – Only simple ingredients and one bowl required! No electric mixer.

Fudgy brownies – These brownies are fudgy and have that perfect crinkle top we all love in brownies.

Ingredients Notes

Here are a few key ingredients in this recipe. Continue scrolling down for the recipe card.

• Butter – I used unsalted. This will be melted.
• Andes chocolate – I found these at my local grocery store. These ones are great quality!
• Brown sugar – I used dark brown sugar, but light brown sugar works as well.
• Eggs – Remove 2 hours before baking.
• Chocolate chips - I used semi-sweet chocolate chips. You can also use dark chocolate, but milk would be to sweet.

Step by step instructions

Here is how to make and bake these Andes mint brownies. You will need an 8×8 square pan lined with parchment paper, a large mixing bowl, a spatula, and a whisk.

Step 1 – Prep. Grease the pan. For easy removal of the brownies, place parchment paper on the bottom and 2 sides of the pan. Grease again and then set aside.

Step 2 – Melt the butter and chocolate. Once the butter is hot, add in the chocolate. Whisk on low until it turns glossy. Remove from heat. 

Step 3 – Whisk wet ingredients. In a large bowl, whisk the eggs, egg yolk, brown sugar and vanilla until smooth.

Step 4 - Whisk together. Add the chocolate mixture into the whisked mixture and combine until smooth.

Step 5 - Add dry ingredients. Add in flour, cocoa powder, and salt. Using a spatula, fold until just combined. Do not overmix! Add in Andes mints and chocolate chips and mix in.

Step 6 - Transfer and bake. Transfer the brownie batter into the prepared pan and spread evenly. Top off with extra chocolates if desired.

Bake for 22-28 minutes or until the top is shiny and the edges are cracked. Mine took 28 minutes. A toothpick inserted into the center should be fudgy, but not wet with batter.

Step 7 – Cool the brownies. The brownies still bake in the pan as they cool down. Therefore it’s best to wait until they’re completely cooled before slicing. If you cut them while hot/very warm they’ll fall apart.

Store the brownies at room temperature on your counter or in the fridge for up to 5 days!

Expert Baking Tips

Here are a few baking tips from my kitchen to yours

• Line the bottom and two sides with parchment paper. Grease the other two sides. This will allow for the easiest removal from the pan.
• You want to mix the butter and chocolate chips together when the butter is really hot. Allow it to cool for 5 min before adding in the bowl – you don’t want to cook the eggs!
• Use chocolate chips or a chocolate bar. Both work great!

FAQ

Should I use a glass or metal pan?

I always use dark metal pans! Glass pans heat differently and therefore change the brownie texture and time of baking.

How do I know my brownies are ready?

You’ll know it’s ready when a toothpick comes out slight fudgy. If it is runny and the batter is dripping off the toothpick, bake for an additional 5 minutes and check again.
