Mint Version of my Favorite Chocolate Brownes Ever Recipe!

 My dad laughed when I told him I made these because I needed them.  But, at the time, I really did.  Chocolate, mint, a slice of rich, warm brownie.  Yep, I needed these brownies. Now you, too, can make them anytime you feel the "need"!  They're based off my family favorite best chocolate brownies EVER recipe - but tweaked a bit to allow for the addition of a bunch of extra chocolate thrown in at the end!  Enjoy! 

A yummy slice of mint chocolate brownie!!!

Mint Version of my Favorite Chocolate Brownies Ever! 

Line a 9” x 13" glass pan w/ parchment paper.  It doesn’t have to be well done, just fold sides so it works and it’s covered.  If you don’t use parchment paper, expect to spoon your final brownies out – buttering just doesn’t cut it this time, folks.

Heat oven to 375 F.

Melt in bowl in microwave: (I like to microwave chocolate at 50% power in the microwave in small, 30-45 second increments, stirring regularly to avoid any burning - yes, chocolate can burn and it's very sad when it does). 

7 oz. high-quality dark chocolate (60-70% works best)

¾ cup + 2 Tbsp butter

Add and mix in:

1 cups sugar

Mix, incorporating one at a time:

5 eggs

Add and stir until incorporated:

1/4 cup brown or white rice flour

Add and stir in: 

1/2 cup milk chocolate chips

1/2 cup white chocolate chips

1/2 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips (optional, since you already have dark chocolate in the batter)

Pour into parchment paper lined 9 x 13 baking pan. 

Sprinkle on top: 

1/2 - 1 cup various mint chocolate chips and bars broken into chunks. 

Ready to bake in a 9" x 13" pan lined with parchment paper

Bake at 375 F for 22 - 24 minutes.

Fresh from the oven. These smell amazing!!!

Remove from oven, leave to cool and rest on a metal cooling rack.   Yes, you can eat warm, but it’s best to let it cool a bit - 30 minutes works well to be able to cut into pieces. These are great served warm or cooled.  We love them warm with ice cream on top.  Once fully cool, these can be cut in small pieces and frozen to eat later.  Tastes great, and a nice way to have treats on-hand for special occasions.
