How to Make Irish Mint Brownies
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 13x9x2 inch baking pan.
- Melt butter and bittersweet chocolate in a saucepan over low heat, stirring until smooth. Set aside to cool slightly.
- In a large bowl, beat eggs, sugar, and vanilla extract until light and fluffy.
- Stir in the cooled chocolate mixture.
- Gradually add flour, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
- Stir in chocolate chips and walnuts.
- Pour batter into the prepared pan and spread evenly.
- Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with moist crumbs.
- Let cool completely on a wire rack.
- While brownies cool, prepare the frosting: In a small saucepan, combine white chocolate and heavy cream. Cook and stir over low heat until smooth and melted.
- Remove from heat and let cool slightly. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to chill.
- In a chilled bowl, beat cold heavy cream with an electric mixer until soft peaks form.
- Gently fold in the cooled white chocolate mixture.
- Beat on medium speed until stiff peaks form, about 4 minutes.
- Fold in crushed mint candies.
- Spread frosting evenly over cooled brownies.
- Prepare the ganache: In a small saucepan, combine bittersweet chocolate and heavy cream. Cook and stir over low heat until smooth and melted.
- Remove from heat and stir in butter until melted and smooth.
- Let the ganache cool to room temperature before spreading it thinly over the frosting.
- Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour to allow the frosting and ganache to set.
- Cut into bars and garnish with additional candies, if desired.
- Store in the refrigerator.
