Then, to get the flat liquid chocolate layer to lay down properly, once the buttercream layer is spread on top, the pan is best chilled to solidify. The brownie must be totally cool before spreading the mint buttercream over top. The real time involved with this recipe is in the cooling off periods. To save time, a boxed brownie mix does fine. The brownie itself does not go mint but it could, with drops of peppermint extract. A dot of green food coloring gets us there with ease. Ahh, the joy of a recipe developer.īeing the visual creature I am, the mint layer plays better for me if it’s green. The people in our circles who say they’re not big on mint went for brownie after brownie with the “best ever eaten” comments coming at it. I agree it’s not as rich, but I’ll tell you the lush flavor factor of my thicker layer is eye-popping good. My crew assessed the layer as I made these all summer long and they still want a thinner mint layer, very thin indeed. Just as the unwavering Mint Chip ice cream choice garners some scrutiny, so too does the thickness of the mint buttercream layer of the Peppermint Chocolate Brownies. With brownie layer beneath and smooth chocolate layer above. In the same tradition as my Mom’s Chocolate Buttercream -topped brownies, this is buttercream, minted. Last year I got after a Chocolate Peppermint Ghraybeh butter cookie that is not only delicious, it’s so pretty. And a sweet I indulged every night: mint chocolate covered oreo-type cookie, called Mystic Mint cookies.
I had a music box magnet on the refrigerator that I played too often (hey, there was no phone device so looooong ago…). I recall some very quiet times when I was teaching English at Saint Mary’s for a semester. The mint chocolate sweet is always on my radar, a comfort to the soul as much as it is a soother to the body too. The Lebanese in me has to have mint often, daily I’d say, and usually that’s in the form of the dried or fresh mint herb that finds its way into much of our cooking. No matter how much I peruse and taste the offerings, my order remains: Mint Chip. I have taken some heat for being a one trick pony when it comes to certain things, especially my summer ice cream cone.
Like an Andes Mint, taken all the way to the top level! My Peppermint Chocolate Brownies are a family favorite for the layers of chewy brownie, cool mint buttercream, and perfectly smooth chocolate top layer. Peppermint chocolate brownies have those flavors that satisfy like no other.
