Day 16
Hey, so with December moving on with not many
sleeps until Christmas left, I love to warm up with a mug of hot chocolate and
some Christmas style peppermint brownies, so I thought that I would share with
you this recipe and I hope you enjoy making and trying them:
Preparation
Time: 20 Minutes
Cooking
Time: 30 minutes
Ingredients:
6 oz. dark
chocolate, coarsely chopped
½ cup (4 oz.)
unsalted butter
¾ cup (5¼ oz.)
granulated sugar
¼ cup (2 oz.)
light brown sugar
2 eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla
extract
1 teaspoon peppermint
extract
½ teaspoon salt
1 tablespoon cocoa
powder
⅔ cup (2¾ oz.)
all-purpose flour
½ cup mint chips
Method:
1. Preheat oven to
350ºF. Line with parchment and lightly grease an 8x8” baking pan.
2. In a medium
bowl, whisk the flour, salt, and cocoa powder together.
3. Put the
chocolate and butter in a large glass bowl and microwave for 30 seconds. Stir,
and repeat until the chocolate and butter are completely melted and smooth. Add
the sugars. Whisk until completely combined. The mixture should be room temperature.
4. Add 2 eggs to
the chocolate mixture and whisk until combined. Add the vanilla and peppermint
extracts and stir. Do not overbeat the batter at this stage or your brownies
will be cakey.
5. Sprinkle the
flour mixture over the chocolate mixture. Using a rubber spatula (not a whisk),
fold the flour mixture into the chocolate until just a bit of the flour mixture
is visible. Fold in the Andes mint chips. Spread the batter in the prepared
pan.
6. Bake in
preheated oven for about 30 minutes or until a toothpick comes out with moist
crumbs attached. Cool brownies completely.
7. Place in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour
before cutting into 16 equal squares with a very sharp knife.
I hope you enjoyed this and let me know if you
like them. Let me know of anything you would like me to talk about in another
future post. That’s all for now,
