mint brownies

What you will need:

1 cup butter

6 oz unsweetened chocolate (I adore E. Guittard)

3 cups sugar

1/2 t salt

2 t vanilla extract

4 large eggs, room temperature

1 t peppermint extract

1 2/3 cups AP flour

1/3 cup unsweetened cocoa powder

2 cups oreo mint cookies

2 cups thin mint cookies

 

Preheat oven to 350F. Line a 9×13-inch baking pan with aluminum foil, and grease lightly. Set aside.

In a medium sized bowl, break the mint oreos into pieces.

Next, add the thin mints to the oreos.

In a medium saucepan over low heat, melt together butter and chocolate, stirring occasionally. Whisk in sugar, salt, peppermint and vanilla, then turn off heat. Whisk in eggs one at a time, waiting until each is fully incorporated before adding the next. Stir in flour until throughly mixed.  Next, add cocoa powder.

Mix until all ingredient are combined completely.

Add cookie pieces and fold softly until blended with brownie mixture.  Pour the mixture into baking pan. 

 

Bake for 30 minutes. 

Allow brownies to cool for about 30 minutes, and then remove from the pan and slice. 

Makes 48 (more or less) bite sized brownies.

  Happy Leprechaun Day!  :)
