I get requests for my mint creme brownies a lot. I could never open a bakery because I get really bored re-making desserts! The latest request came from my friend Gabe. I agreed to make them, but decided to try a new presentation. These are a little more work- but turned out great. These would be perfect bite-size treats for showers or luncheons- and since its so close to Halloween, you could even drizzle some orange candy melts on top for a Halloween party treat!
INGREDIENTS:
Brownie:
- 1c. butter
- 2c. sugar
- 3 eggs
- 2 tsp. vanilla
- 2 c. flour
- 1/2c. cocoa
- 1/2tsp. salt
- 1c. milk
Mint creme:
- 5 c. powdered sugar
- 1/2 c. melted butter
- 2 tsp. peppermint extract
- green food coloring (to desired shade of green)
Chocolate glaze:
- 6oz. semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 6tsp. butter (do not substitute margarine here!)
DIRECTIONS:
Brownie:
- Preheat oven to 350.
- Cream butter and sugar together.
- Beat in eggs, cocoa, vanilla and salt.
- Add flour and milk (alternating them and mixing well in between)
- Pipe batter evenly in mini cupcake liners in a mini cupcake tin
- Bake at 350 degrees for 8-10 minutes.
- Cool.
Mint creme:
- Add melted butter to sugar and extract.
- Mix well, using water to bring it to a thick but spreadable consistency.
- Add food coloring to desired shade of green.
- Pipe over cooled brownie cups and chill for a few minutes to harden up.
Chocolate glaze:
- Melt butter and chocolate together in the microwave in 30 second increments, stirring in between until completely melted and smooth.
- Spoon over cooled mint creme
- Chill until top layer is hard and drizzle with melted candy coating if desired
My thoughts: This is a fun variation on the Mint Creme Brownies– the taste is the same and its a perfect little bite of happiness– I just like about 10 perfect little bites of happiness, so I’d take a big piece of brownie over a cute little cup any day! 🙂
