- Dry Ingredients: 3/4 cup (95 g) all-purpose flour, 1/2 cup (45 g) unsweetened cocoa powder, 1/2 tsp baking powder, 1/4 tsp salt
- Wet Ingredients: 1/2 cup (115 g) unsalted butter, melted and slightly cooled, 1 cup (200 g) granulated sugar, 2 large eggs at room temperature, 1/2 tsp pure vanilla extract, 1/2 tsp peppermint extract, 2–3 drops green food coloring (optional, for festive color)
- Chocolate & Add-ins: 1/2 cup (90 g) mini chocolate chips plus more for topping, 1/4 cup (40 g) chopped Andes mints or mint chocolate pieces (optional)
Instructions
- 1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a mini muffin tin or line with mini cupcake liners.
- 2. In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt.
- 3. In a large bowl, whisk melted butter and sugar until well combined. Add eggs, vanilla extract, and peppermint extract; mix until smooth. Add green food coloring if using.
- 4. Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture until just combined.
- 5. Stir in the mini chocolate chips and chopped Andes mints (if using).
- 6. Spoon batter evenly into the prepared mini muffin tin, filling each cup about 3/4 full. Sprinkle extra chocolate chips on top if desired.
- 7. Bake for 13–15 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out mostly clean with a few moist crumbs.
- 8. Cool in the tin for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
Zusatztipps für die Zubereitung
To enhance the mint flavor, slightly increase the peppermint extract but be careful not to overpower the chocolate. Using room temperature eggs helps achieve a smooth batter. If green food coloring is not desired, the brownies will still taste delicious without it. Greasing the mini muffin tin or using liners prevents sticking and makes removal easier.

Varianten und Anpassungen
Substitute chopped Andes mints with other mint-flavored chocolate bars for a different texture and flavor profile, or omit them altogether for a classic mint chocolate chip brownie. You can also experiment with different types of chocolate chips, such as semi-sweet or dark, depending on your preference. For a vegan variation, try replacing butter and eggs with suitable plant-based alternatives.
