Ingredients
For the brownie batter:
1 cup unsalted butter (2 sticks), melted
1 1/4 cups granulated sugar
1/4 cup packed brown sugar
4 large eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 cup chocolate chips (optional, for extra chocolatey goodness)
For the mint fudge center:
1/2 cup sweetened condensed milk
1/4 cup unsalted butter
1 1/2 cups powdered sugar
1 teaspoon peppermint extract (or mint extract)
2–3 drops of green food coloring (optional, for a festive look)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and line a 9×9-inch baking pan with parchment paper or spray it with nonstick cooking spray.
- Prepare the mint fudge center: In a medium saucepan, melt the butter and sweetened condensed milk over medium heat, stirring occasionally until smooth. Remove from heat and stir in the peppermint extract and powdered sugar. Mix until the fudge is smooth and thick. Optionally, add green food coloring for a festive touch. Set aside to cool slightly.
- Prepare the brownie batter: In a large bowl, whisk together melted butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar. Add eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in vanilla extract. In a separate bowl, sift together the flour, cocoa powder, salt, and baking powder. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Fold in chocolate chips if desired.
- Assemble the brownies: Pour half of the brownie batter into the prepared baking pan and spread it evenly. Spoon the mint fudge mixture over the brownie layer, spreading it evenly across the top but leaving a border around the edges. Gently spread the remaining brownie batter over the fudge layer, using spoonfuls to avoid disturbing the fudge.
- Bake: Bake for 30-35 minutes or until a toothpick inserted comes out with a few moist crumbs. The fudge layer should be soft and gooey, so don’t worry if it’s a bit messy when testing.
- Cool and serve: Let the brownies cool in the pan for 10-15 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely. Once cooled, cut into squares and serve.
- Enjoy: These Mint Fudge Stuffed Brownies are perfect for any occasion—serve them at parties, as a special treat, or as a gift to mint and chocolate lovers!
Notes
Add crushed peppermint candies or chocolate chips to the mint fudge center for extra texture.
Swap the mint fudge layer with a peanut butter fudge layer for a different flavor profile.
Use white chocolate chips in the brownie batter for a creamy contrast to the mint fudge.
