Ingredients
For the brownies
- 1 cup unsalted butter
- ½ cup semi-sweet chocolate morsels
- 2 cups granulated sugar
- 4 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- ¾ cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- ½ teaspoon kosher salt
- ½ teaspoon baking powder
For the topping
- 2 cups white chocolate chips 11 ounce package
- ½ cup heavy whipping cream
- 20 Mint Oreo Cookies
- ¼ teaspoon peppermint extract
- 1 drop green food coloring
- 2 Tablespoons cinnamon red hot candies
Instructions
For the brownies
- Preheat oven to 350°F. Line a 9-inch baking dish with parchment paper. Set aside.
- In a medium sized saucepan, melt butter over medium heat. Remove from heat and add in chocolate chips and sugar.
- Stir until chocolate is completely melted. Add in eggs, one at a time, stirring completely after each addition. Stir in vanilla.
- Add the cocoa powder, flour, salt, and baking powder. Using big strokes, stir in JUST until mixed and no longer see dry ingredients. DO NOT BEAT OR OVER STIR.
- Pour batter into dish and bake for about 35 minutes. Remove from oven and cool completely before adding topping.
For the topping
- After the brownies have cooled, prepare the mint ganache topping.
- In a heat safe bowl or double boiler over simmering water, add white chocolate and heavy cream. Stir until chocolate has fully melted.
- Remove from heat and stir in peppermint extract and green food coloring.
- Pour ganache over brownies and top immediately with chopped Oreos and red hot candies.
- Allow to set, for about one hour. Cut and enjoy.
Notes
- Use a good quality white chocolate for the ganache. I like to use Ghirardelli. It not only melts well, but tastes delicious too.
- Make sure to choose peppermint extract, NOT mint extract. The mint will taste more like a spearmint flavor tube of toothpaste. Just sayin.
- Also, when adding food coloring to melted chocolate, I prefer to use a gel food coloring, like Americolor. The color is vibrant, and you only need a small drop. Plus, it doesn’t cause the white chocolate to seize up!
- The best way to cut brownies is with a plastic knife. For whatever reason it keeps the brownies from sticking to the knife while slicing. You’ve got to try it!
- Store brownies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to one week.
