To make Delicious Mint-Chocolate Brownies, start by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C). Then, line your baking dish with parchment paper and grease it with butter. This step helps your brownies come out perfectly.

Now, let’s mix the brownie batter. Melt 1 cup of unsalted butter and 1 ⅓ cups of semisweet chocolate chips together. After they melt, whisk in 1 ½ cups of granulated sugar, ½ cup of brown sugar, and 4 large eggs. Add 1 teaspoon of mint extract and mix until smooth.

Then, fold in ¾ cup of all-purpose flour and ¼ cup of cocoa powder gently. This ensures the batter is well combined.

Next, pour the batter into the prepared baking dish. Bake for 30-35 minutes. Let the brownies cool completely in the pan.

To make the mint chocolate frosting, mix ½ cup of softened butter, 2.5 cups of powdered sugar, 3-4 tablespoons of milk, and 1.5 teaspoons of mint extract. Drizzle the cooled brownies with melted semisweet chocolate chips. Enjoy your Delicious Mint-Chocolate Brownies.

To make the perfect mint chocolate frosting, you need the right ingredients. Use high-quality items like Nielsen-Massey Peppermint Extract. Follow a simple Mint-Chocolate Brownies Step-by-Step guide for the best results.

The mint cream layer needs 1/2 cup softened butter, 2 cups powdered sugar, 2 tablespoons milk, 1/2 teaspoon peppermint extract, and 1 drop green food coloring. Start with a small amount of peppermint extract to avoid too much flavor. Mix the butter, powdered sugar, milk, and peppermint extract until it’s light and fluffy.

• 6 tablespoons (84g) unsalted butter, softened
• 1 1/2 cups (195g) powdered sugar
• 2 teaspoons heavy whipping cream
• 1/4 teaspoon mint or peppermint extract
• Green food coloring (optional)

With your ingredients ready, start making the frosting. Soften the butter in the microwave for 15 seconds. Then, whip it for a couple of minutes with the paddle attachment. Add the powdered sugar, mint extract, and heavy cream, mixing until combined. If you want, add green food coloring for the right mint shade.

Now, mix your frosting ingredients. Spread it over your cooled Mint-Chocolate Brownies. If it’s too thick, add heavy cream, 1 teaspoon at a time, until it’s right. With these steps, you’ll have a tasty mint chocolate frosting for your Mint-Chocolate Brownies.

After baking your Mint-Chocolate Brownies, it’s time to serve and store them. Freezing the brownies before frosting makes frosting easier. This helps in spreading the frosting smoothly.

When ready to serve, slice the brownies while they’re a bit frozen. This keeps their shape. Keep them frozen until you’re ready to serve for the best texture. You can add chocolate shavings, candies, or a chocolate drizzle for a nice look. Remember, peppermint oil is very strong, so use it sparingly.

To store your brownies, use an airtight container in the fridge for 3-4 days. You can also freeze them without frosting and thaw with fresh frosting before serving. Another choice is to store them at room temperature in an airtight container for up to 3 days or refrigerate for up to 1 week. Freezing them in an airtight container for up to 3 months is also an option. Thaw in the fridge before serving.

To reheat your brownies, microwave them for 10-15 seconds or bake at 350°F for 5-7 minutes. Serve them cool, keeping them refrigerated until you’re ready. These tips help keep your Mint-Chocolate Brownies fresh and tasty for longer.
