Yield Makes 20 small brownies

Number Of Ingredients 16

For brownies
1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter
2 ounces unsweetened chocolate, chopped
2 large eggs
1 cup sugar
1/2 cup all purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon peppermint extract
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
Pinch of salt
1/2 cup chopped pecans
For toppings
1 cup sifted powdered sugar
4 tablespoons (1/2 stick) unsalted butter, room temperature
1 tablespoon whole milk
1/4 teaspoon peppermint extract
4 ounces semisweet chocolate, chopped

Steps:

  • Make brownies:
  • Preheat oven to 350°F. Lightly butter 8x8x2-inch metal baking pan. Stir butter and chocolate in small saucepan over low heat until smooth. Set aside. Using electric mixer, beat eggs and sugar in large bowl until light and fluffy, about 5 minutes. Add chocolate mixture, flour, peppermint and vanilla extracts and salt; stir until just blended. Mix in nuts.
  • Transfer batter to prepared pan. Bake until tester inserted into center comes out with moist crumbs attached, about 25 minutes. Cool slightly.
  • Make toppings:
  • Beat powdered sugar, 2 tablespoons butter, milk and extract in bowl until creamy. Spread over warm brownies. Chill until set, about 1 hour.
  • Stir chocolate and 2 tablespoons butter in small saucepan over low heat until smooth. Cool slightly. Pour over mint topping, spreading evenly. Cover and chill until set, about 1 hour. Cut into 20 squares. (Can be made 8 hours ahead. Cover with foil; store at room temperature.)

These brownies were a bit too sweet for my taste, but my kids loved them.

I'm not a huge fan of mint, but these brownies were surprisingly good. The mint flavor was subtle and didn't overpower the chocolate.

These brownies were a bit dry. I think I'll add some extra butter next time.

I used dark chocolate chips instead of semi-sweet and they turned out great! The brownies were rich and decadent.

These brownies were a hit with my family! They're so rich and chocolatey, with just the right amount of mint flavor.
