Ingredients

Scale

Fudgy Mint Brownies

  • 1 cup white granulated sugar
  • 1 stick unsalted butter (at room temperature)
  • 2 large eggs (at room temperature)
  • 10 ounces dark chocolate (melted)
  • 2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1/2 tbsp espresso powder
  • 2 tablespoons warm water
  • 1 teaspoon mint extract
  • 1/2 cup all purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup mini chocolate chips

Mint Chocolate Chip Fudge Layer

  • 20 ounces white chocolate
  • 1 cup condensed milk
  • gel food coloring – spring green color (a few drops)
  • 1 teaspoon mint extract
  • 1 cup mini chocolate chips

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and position the oven rack in the middle of the oven to ensure even baking.
  2. Prepare the pan: Line a 9×9 inch baking pan with parchment paper, allowing the paper to cover the bottom and two sides for easier removal. Butter or spray the pan with baking spray and set aside.
  3. Melt chocolate: Place 10 ounces of dark chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl. Microwave in 25-30 second intervals, stirring in between until fully melted and smooth, being careful not to burn the chocolate.
  4. Cream butter and sugar: In a mixing bowl, cream together the butter and sugar until the mixture is light, pale, and fluffy. Scrape the sides and bottom of the bowl once during this process for even mixing.
  5. Add eggs and mint: Add the eggs one at a time, whisking well on low to medium speed after each addition. Then add 1 teaspoon of mint extract and continue mixing on medium-high speed for about 5 minutes until well combined.
  6. Make espresso mixture: In a small bowl, dissolve 1/2 tablespoon espresso powder in 2 tablespoons warm water until fully dissolved.
  7. Combine wet ingredients: Add the melted chocolate and espresso mixture to the batter and mix on low to medium speed until just combined, scraping the bowl sides once to ensure everything is well incorporated.
  8. Mix dry ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour and unsweetened cocoa powder. Then add these dry ingredients to the batter and mix gently on low speed or fold in with a spatula until just combined.
  9. Fold in chocolate chips: Using a spatula, fold in 1/2 cup of mini chocolate chips evenly into the batter.
  10. Transfer and bake: Pour the batter into the prepared pan and spread evenly. Bake for 35-40 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with a few sticky crumbs but no wet batter. Cool to room temperature.
  11. Level the brownie surface: If the brownie layer is uneven, press down the sides gently with a spatula to level the surface before adding the fudge layer.
  12. Prepare fudge mixture: Combine 20 ounces white chocolate and 1 cup condensed milk in a large microwave-safe bowl. Microwave in 20-second intervals, stirring after each, until the chocolate is completely melted and smooth.
  13. Add color and flavor: Stir in a few drops of spring green gel food coloring and 1 teaspoon mint extract until the color and flavor are evenly distributed.
  14. Assemble fudge layer: Pour the fudge mixture over the cooled brownie base, spreading evenly. Top with 1 cup mini chocolate chips and gently press them into the fudge.
  15. Chill: Refrigerate the assembled dessert for at least 1 hour to set the fudge layer.
  16. Cut and serve: Run a knife around the edges of the pan, lift out the dessert using the parchment sides, place on a cutting board, and cut into squares. Clean the knife between cuts for best results.
  17. Store: Keep the fudge at room temperature for 3-4 days, covered to maintain freshness.

Notes

  • Use room temperature eggs and butter to achieve the ideal batter consistency for fudgy brownies.
  • Espresso powder enhances the chocolate flavor but does not make the brownies taste like coffee.
  • If using regular white chocolate bars, chop them finely before melting to speed melting and prevent burning.
  • Gel food coloring is preferred over liquid to avoid altering the fudge consistency.
  • Allow the brownie layer to cool completely before adding the fudge to prevent melting and mixing layers.
  • Store the fudge in an airtight container to keep it fresh and moist.
