Mint Chocolate Brownies

Brownies!

I promised to put the mint chocolate brownies on the blog and here they are!
I used Tesco "Dark Chocolate Mint Thins"  which are a bit like "After Eights" .
Both of which work really well.
I have used 100g of walnuts or pecans or grated beetroot or white chocolate chips in stead of the mints. To make various sorts of brownies.
This recipe also works perfectly with gluten free flour too.

 

Folding in the mints!

 Mint Chocolate Brownies

100 g butter

100 g dark chocolate

225 g caster sugar

100 g plain flour

1 level tsp of baking powder

2 eggs

100g wafer thin mints (After Eights)

Set the oven to GM 4, 150˚C.

Line a 20 by 30 cm baking tin with baking parchment.

Break up the dark chocolate into a bowl and add the butter. Put the bowl into a pot with 4 cm of hot water in it and put the pot onto a low heat. When the chocolate has melted, take the bowl off the heat and sift in the flour and baking powder.

Add the sugar, eggs and broken up mints. Stir them together to mix well and spoon into the baking tin and bake for 30 minutes.

Let them cool in the tin for 10 minutes and cut them into squares and finish cooling on a wire rack.

Ready for the oven.
