Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 1 cup salted butter (2 sticks), melted
  • 3/4 cup brown sugar
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 3 eggs
  • 3/4 cup cocoa powder
  • 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • about 27 Andes Mints, unwrapped

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350F.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, whisk melted butter and sugar until fully combined.
  3. Add eggs and vanilla and whisk again until smooth and caramel-like texture is reached. 
  4. Add the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder and salt and whisk again until smooth.
  5. Add the brownie mixture to a prepared 8 x 8 inch square pan (either lined with parchment or greased with butter/cooking spray). Spread in an even layer and bake for 25-30 minutes. Begin checking the brownies between 20-25 minutes. Take them out when the center has a *slight* jiggle but opaque top.
  6. Immediately upon removing the brownies from the oven, arrange Andes Mints across the top. Return to the oven (turned off) for 1 minute. Allow brownies to stand for a few more minutes at room temperature before spreading the melted candy evenly across the top of the brownies.
  7. Allow brownies to cool at room temperature for 1 hour, then transfer to the fridge if you want the ganache to fully set. Otherwise, you can enjoy sooner with a warm brownie and that melty chocolate mint topping.
