Mint Cream Cheese Swirl Brownies image

This is a variation of the One-Bowl Brownies recipe from the Baker's Unsweetened Chocolate package, which is my go-to brownie recipe, made better by the addition of melted mint chips. If you want to go really minty, you could add a little dash of peppermint extract to the mix, but I think it was pleasantly minty without it.

Time 55m

Yield 24 brownies, 24 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

4 ounces unsweetened chocolate
3/4 cup unsalted butter (1-1/2 sticks)
2 cups sugar
4 large eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 cup flour
1 cup guittard mint chocolate chips, melted (about 6 oz.)
8 ounces cream cheese, softened at room temperature
1 egg
2 tablespoons flour

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Line a 9x13 baking pan with foil, then grease the foil (cooking spray works well).
  • In a large bowl, melt the unsweetened chocolate and butter together (you can do this in a double boiler or in the microwave on HIGH for 2 minutes). Set aside and let cool about 10 minutes.
  • Add sugar, vanilla, and 4 eggs to chocolate mixture, and stir until well-combined.
  • Add 1 cup flour and stir until flour is completely incorporated.
  • In a separate mixing bowl, melt 1 cup green mint chips (again, on a double-boiler setup or in the microwave).
  • Add softened cream cheese, 1 egg, and 2 tablespoons flour, and beat on medium speed until mixture is well-combined (it will be a little fluffy and thick).
  • Spread the chocolate mixture into the greased foiled pan.
  • Drop spoonfuls of the mint/cream cheese mixture evenly over the chocolate and swirl a knife around the pan several times to create a marbled effect.
  • Bake for 40 minutes at 350 degrees, or until a toothpick inserted in the middle comes out with fudgy crumbs (DO NOT overbake).
