How to Make Fudgy Minty Brownies

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Grease and flour a 13x9x2 inch baking pan.
  3. In a large microwave-safe bowl, combine 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter and 12 ounces semi-sweet chocolate chips. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring until completely melted and smooth.
  4. Stir in 2 cups granulated sugar until well combined.
  5. Add 4 large eggs, 1 teaspoon peppermint extract, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract. Mix until just combined.
  6. In a separate bowl, whisk together 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour and 1/2 cup crushed candy cane (or 1/4 cup of chopped fresh mint). Gradually add to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
  7. Pour batter into the prepared pan and spread evenly.
  8. Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with moist crumbs.
  9. Let cool completely in the pan before adding the mint chips.
  10. Sprinkle 1/2 cup of semi-sweet chocolate mint chips evenly over the warm brownies. Let them melt slightly, then spread them into an even layer with a spatula.
  11. Once completely cool, dust with powdered sugar and cut into squares.
