Instructions

1
Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line an 8x8 inch (20x20 cm) baking pan with parchment paper, leaving an overhang on two sides to easily lift the brownies out later.
2
Make the brownie batter: In a large bowl, whisk together melted butter and 1 cup granulated sugar until smooth. Whisk in eggs one at a time, then stir in vanilla extract.
3
In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, cocoa powder, and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Fold in 0.5 cup mini chocolate chips. Spread about two-thirds of the brownie batter evenly into the prepared pan. Reserve the remaining batter.
4
Make the mint swirl: In a medium bowl, beat softened cream cheese with 0.25 cup granulated sugar until smooth and creamy. Stir in peppermint extract and green food coloring (if using) until desired color is achieved. Fold in 0.25 cup mini chocolate chips.
5
Dollop the mint cream cheese mixture over the brownie batter in the pan. Drop spoonfuls of the remaining reserved brownie batter over the mint layer. Use a knife or skewer to gently swirl the two batters together to create a marbled effect. Be careful not to overmix.
6
Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with moist crumbs (not wet batter). Let cool completely in the pan on a wire rack before lifting out and cutting into squares. Cooling completely is crucial for fudgy brownies.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why are my brownies cakey instead of fudgy?

Overmixing the batter or overbaking can lead to cakey brownies. Mix until just combined, and remove from the oven when a toothpick still has moist crumbs, not liquid batter.

Can I use regular chocolate chips instead of mini?

Yes, you can! Mini chocolate chips tend to distribute more evenly, but regular ones will work just fine for bursts of chocolate.

How long do these brownies last?

Stored in an airtight container at room temperature, they are best enjoyed within 3-4 days. You can also refrigerate them for up to a week.
