Time 1h35m

Yield 24

Number Of Ingredients 9

cooking spray
1 (18.4 ounce) package brownie mix
⅔ cup vegetable oil
¼ cup water
2 large eggs
1 (4.6 ounce) package creme de menthe thins (such as Andes®)
1 (12 ounce) bag semisweet chocolate chips
1 tablespoon coconut oil
green and while candy sprinkles (optional)

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Spray a glass 9x13-inch pan with cooking spray.
  • Combine brownie mix, oil, water, and eggs in a large bowl. Stir 50 strokes with a spoon. Spread into the prepared pan.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, 28 to 31 minutes. Remove from the oven and allow to cool slightly, about 10 minutes.
  • Break up warm brownies into a large bowl. Roughly chop mint thins and add to the bowl; stir until well combined, allowing the brownies' heat to slightly melt the chocolate.
  • Form mixture into 1 1/2-inch balls, pressing firmly so they hold together. Chill in the refrigerator for 20 minutes.
  • Combine chocolate chips and oil in a small microwave-safe bowl; microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring after each one, until melted and smooth.
  • Dip each brownie ball into the melted chocolate and turn with a fork to coat. Lift and allow excess chocolate to drip off. Place dipped truffles onto a tray lined with waxed or parchment paper. Top with sprinkles, if desired.
  • Refrigerate for 5 minutes (or let sit at room temperature for 20 minutes) until chocolate has set.

CHOCOLATE MINT BROWNIES

One of the best things about this recipe is that these mint chocolate brownies get moister if you leave them in the refrigerator for a day or two. The problem at our house is that no one can leave them alone for that long! -Helen Baines, Elkton, Maryland

Time 1h30m

Yield 16 brownies

Number Of Ingredients 20

Nonstick cooking spray, for the parchment
12 tablespoons (1 1/2 sticks) unsalted butter, cut into pieces
6 ounces bittersweet chocolate, chopped
1 1/2 cups granulated sugar
1/2 cup packed light brown sugar
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
1/4 teaspoon fine salt
4 large eggs
1/3 cup Kentucky bourbon
1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 cup cocoa powder
1 cup coarsely chopped creme de menthe chocolate thins, such as Andes
12 ounces cream cheese, at room temperature
12 tablespoons (1 1/2 sticks) unsalted butter, at room temperature
3 cups confectioners' sugar, sifted
Pinch fine salt
3 tablespoons Kentucky bourbon
3/4 teaspoon peppermint extract
3 to 4 drops green food coloring
1 cup coarsely chopped creme de menthe chocolate thins, such as Andes

Steps:

  • For the brownies: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Line a 9-by-13 inch baking pan with parchment hanging over the edges by about 2 inches (to use as handles for removing the brownies later). Spray the parchment with cooking spray.
  • Combine the butter and chocolate in a double boiler or bowl set over simmering water and heat, stirring occasionally, until melted.
  • Combine the granulated sugar, brown sugar, vanilla, salt and eggs in a large bowl. Whisk until smooth. Whisk in the bourbon and melted chocolate. Sift the flour and cocoa powder into the wet ingredients. Stir with a spatula until just combined. Stir in the chopped chocolate thins.
  • Pour the batter into the prepared pan and smooth with a spatula. Bake on the bottom rack of the oven until the edges are set and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out with a few wet crumbs, 35 to 38 minutes. Cool completely on a rack before frosting.
  • For the cream cheese frosting: Combine the cream cheese and butter in a mixer fitted with the paddle attachment. Beat on medium-high speed until smooth and light, 1 to 2 minutes. Add the confectioners' sugar and salt and beat on low to incorporate, then increase the speed to medium high and beat until light and fluffy, about 1 minute. Add the bourbon, extract and food coloring. Beat until smooth and pale green in color, scraping down the bowl once, about 30 seconds.
  • Remove the cooled brownies from the pan and peel off the parchment. Spread the frosting on the brownies in an even layer. Top with the chopped chocolate thins. Cut into squares to serve.
