Instructions

1
Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour an 8x8 inch baking pan, or line with parchment paper leaving an overhang on the sides.
2
In a medium microwave-safe bowl, melt the butter. Stir in the granulated sugar until well combined. Let cool slightly.
3
Whisk the eggs into the butter-sugar mixture one at a time until fully incorporated. Stir in the vanilla extract and peppermint extract. If using, add a few drops of green food coloring and mix until desired color is achieved.
4
In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
5
Fold in 1 cup of chocolate chips. Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan and spread evenly. Sprinkle a few extra chocolate chips on top if desired.
6
Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with moist crumbs, not wet batter. Do not overbake. Let cool completely in the pan on a wire rack before cutting into squares and serving.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I use chocolate mints instead of chips and extract?

While you could, the flavor and texture might differ significantly. Peppermint extract provides a consistent mint flavor, and chocolate chips offer distinct chocolate pockets. Using crushed chocolate mints might result in a less uniform flavor and texture.

How can I make these extra fudgy?

For an even fudgier brownie, be careful not to overbake. Remove them from the oven when a toothpick inserted near the edge comes out clean, but one inserted in the center still has moist crumbs.

Can I add nuts?

Absolutely! Chopped walnuts or pecans would be a delicious addition. Fold them in with the chocolate chips in Step 5.
