Prep Time 6 minutes
Cook Time 45 minutes
Servings 12

Ingredients

  • 2 Cups Granulated White Sugar
  • 2 Large Sprigs of Mint - Leaves removed 1 - 2 tablespoons chopped
  • 3/4 Cup Salted Butter
  • 8 Ounces 1 1/3 Cups Semi-Sweet Chocolate Chips
  • 3 Large Eggs
  • 1 teaspoon Vanilla
  • 1 Cup of all- purpose Flour

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
  2. Grease an 8" x 8" Square baking pan.
  3. Very finely chop up mint leaves.
  4. The using your fingers rub the finely chopped mint into the 2 cups of sugar in a large bowl. This should soften up the mint and infuse the sugar.
  5. Next melt the butter over low heat in a small pot.
  6. Add the chocolate chips (or baking chocolate of choice).
  7. Stir the chocolate and butter in the pot together immediately and keep it on the burner, but turn off the heat and continue stirring until nearly completely melted. Then remove from heat and continue to stir until smooth, so any remaining chocolate melts, but does not burn.
  8. Pour the chocolate mixture into the sugar and combine well.
  9. Mix in each egg one at time, working quickly.
  10. Then add the vanilla.
  11. Lastly stir in the flour.
  12. Once combined spread into the greased pan.
  13. Bake for 45 minutes.
  14. A fudgy consistency tastes best in a brownie, so do not over bake. A toothpick will come out with fudgy crumbs on it, but not clean.
  15. Eat warm or at room temperature. Or perhaps dare I even suggest hot right from the pan with vanilla ice cream!
  16. Store at covered at room temperature up to 5 days.
