How to Make Mint Fudge Stuffed Brownies

Step-by-Step Instructions

Prepare the Brownie Base:

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line an 8×8 inch baking pan with parchment paper, leaving some overhang for easy removal.
  2. In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the butter and semi-sweet chocolate together in 30-second intervals, stirring between each interval until smooth and completely melted.
  3. Whisk in the granulated sugar until well combined, then beat in the eggs one at a time, followed by the vanilla extract.
  4. In a separate bowl, combine the flour, cocoa powder, and salt. Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the chocolate mixture until just combined.
  5. Pour half of the brownie batter into the prepared pan and spread evenly. Reserve the remaining batter.

Make the Mint Fudge Layer: 6. In a medium saucepan over low heat, combine the sweetened condensed milk and white chocolate chips. Stir constantly until the chocolate is completely melted and the mixture is smooth.

  1. Remove from heat and stir in the peppermint extract. If desired, add green food coloring one drop at a time until you achieve your preferred shade of mint green.
  2. Pour the mint fudge mixture over the brownie layer in the pan, spreading it evenly to the edges.

Complete the Brownies: 9. Drop spoonfuls of the remaining brownie batter over the mint fudge layer and gently spread or swirl to create a marbled effect on top.

  1. Bake for 35-40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the brownie layer comes out with a few moist crumbs.
  2. Allow to cool completely in the pan before cutting into squares.
