Ingredients

For the brownies
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 cup white sugar
  • ¾ cup all-purpose flour
  • ½ cup vegetable oil
  • ⅔ cup dark unsweetened coca powder
  • ½ cup dark chocolate chips
  • 1 tsp espresso powder
  • ½ tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • ½ cup powdered sugar
  • ½ tsp salt
  • 2 tbsp milk of choice
  • 18 Andes mints
For the frosting
  • 4 oz cream cheese
  • ½ stick butter softened
  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 6 Andes mints chopped

Instructions

For the brownies
    Cup of Yum
  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F. Line an 8x8 inch pan with butter AND parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together eggs, oil, milk, vanilla, and mint extract.
  3. In a separate mixing bowl, whisk together sugar, flour, espresso powder, cocoa powder, salt and powdered sugar.
  4. Fold the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients. Pour in the milk and stir until combined. Finely dice the andes mint candies and stir the mint chips into the batter along with the chocolate chips. At this point, the batter will be super thick.
  5. Pour the batter into the sprayed and lined pan (she’s thick) and use a spatula to smooth the batter around. Bake brownies for 40-46 minutes or until the center is mostly cooked.
  6. I like to chill the brownies immediately (so I can eat them faster naturally). Allow the brownies to cool completely before frosting.
For the frosting
  1. In a mixing bowl, beat together softened cream cheese, butter, and vanilla extract with an electric hand mixer until smooth.
  2. Spread the frosting over top of the brownies and garnish with the chopped up remaining andes mints. ENJOY!

Notes

  • Only use the amount of mint or peppermint extract the recipe calls for. If you use any more, these brownies will be so strong your eyes will water from the mint. 
  • Store for up to 5 days in the fridge or freeze for up to 3 months.
