Ingredients

• 0.5 cup unsalted butter
• 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
• 1 cup granulated sugar
• 0.5 cup brown sugar
• 3 large eggs
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 0.75 cup all-purpose flour
• 0.25 cup cocoa powder
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 1 cup Junior Mints candies

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line an 8x8-inch baking pan with parchment paper, leaving an overhang for easy removal.

Step 2

In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the butter and semi-sweet chocolate chips together in 30-second intervals, stirring between each round until smooth. Set aside to cool slightly.

Step 3

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the granulated sugar, brown sugar, eggs, and vanilla extract until light and fluffy, about 2 minutes.

Step 4

Slowly pour the melted chocolate mixture into the egg mixture, whisking constantly until combined.

Step 5

Sift the flour, cocoa powder, and salt into the wet ingredients. Gently fold the dry ingredients into the wet until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.

Step 6

Pour half of the batter into the prepared baking pan and smooth it out evenly.

Step 7

Scatter a layer of Junior Mints candies over the batter, then pour the remaining batter on top, spreading it evenly to cover the mint candies.

Step 8

Bake in the preheated oven for 25–30 minutes, or until the top is set and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with only a few moist crumbs.

Step 9

Let the brownies cool completely in the pan before lifting them out using the parchment paper overhang. Slice into 12 squares and enjoy!
