Brownie recipes are a science! The perfect brownie needs to be rich and fudgy, not dry and bread-like. I have found that stuffed brownies are my favorite because they usually deliver on the perfect brownie texture.
This mint brownie recipe is amazing! The mint chocolate flavor combination is one of my all-time favorites and it really delivers when it is packed into perfectly baked stuffed brownies. They are super fudgy brownies, even more so than a regular brownie.
INGREDIENTS IN MINT FUDGE STUFFED BROWNIES
Andes Mints- This stuffed brownie recipe calls for Andes Mints and that is because Andes makes the best chocolate mints! I love buying their Creme de Menthe baking chips because they’re already cut into perfectly bite-sized chips! There are definitely other chocolate mint brands around, so if you cannot find Andes that is totally okay.
HOW TO MAKE MINT CHOCOLATE BROWNIES
Brownie Batter:
- First, preheat the oven to 350 degrees F and line a 9-inch x 13-inch baking pan with foil. Leave enough excess foil to hang over the edges. Lightly spray the inside with cooking spray and set it aside.
- Next, using a saucepan with 2 inches of simmering water and a medium-sized heat-safe bowl, begin to melt the butter and chocolate together, stirring it frequently until it is fully melted and combined.
- Remove the bowl of melted chocolate immediately from the heat and stir in the cocoa powder.
- After, add the sugar, brown sugar, vanilla, and salt. Stir to combine all of the ingredients inside the bowl.
- Next, stir in the eggs one at a time.
- Lastly, gently add in the flour and mix the batter until all ingredients are well combined.
- Set the batter aside while you move on to preparing the mint fudge.
Mint Fudge:
- In a separate bowl, heat the white chocolate and condensed milk in 3o-second intervals in the microwave. Remove the bowl and stir the contents between each heating until it is melted and smooth.
- Next, add the mint extract and green food coloring. Stir the fudge mixture until it is well combined and the color evenly distributed.
Pro Tip: If you really want that mint green coloring, I suggest being slightly more liberal with your food coloring. I sometimes notice the vibrancy of the green fades slightly after baking.
Brownie Assembly:
- In the prepared baking pan, pour half of the brownie batter to evenly coat the bottom.
- Carefully spoon and spread the mint fudge mixture on top of the brownie batter being careful not to mix it with the layer of batter.
- Next, gently spread the remaining brownie batter over the top of the fudge layer.
- Lastly, sprinkle the chopped Andes mints evenly over the top layer of the brownies.
- Place the brownies in the preheated oven to bake for 30-35 minutes or until they are set. The edges will start to come away from the sides of the pan.
- Upon removing the brownies from the oven, allow them to cool. Place your cooled brownies in the refrigerator to set for at least 2 hours prior to serving to cool completely and let the fudge set up.
- Cut the Mint Fudge Stuffed Brownies into squares and enjoy!
