Ingredients
1 cup unsalted butter
8 ounces dark chocolate
1 cup granulated sugar
1/2 cup light brown sugar
3 large eggs
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
3/4 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
4 Mint Aero chocolate bars, chopped
1/2 cup milk chocolate chips
2 drops green food coloring, optional
Instructions
1. Preheat the oven to 350°F and line an 8-inch square baking pan with parchment paper.
2. Melt the butter and dark chocolate together until smooth, then let the mixture cool slightly.
3. Whisk in the granulated sugar and brown sugar until the mixture looks glossy.
4. Add the eggs one at a time, whisking well after each addition, then stir in the vanilla extract.
5. Sift in the flour, cocoa powder, and salt, then fold gently until the brownie batter is combined.
6. Spread half of the brownie batter into the prepared pan.
7. Scatter the chopped Mint Aero bars and milk chocolate chips evenly over the batter.
8. Spoon the remaining brownie batter over the mint chocolate layer and gently smooth the top.
9. Bake for 28 to 34 minutes, until the edges are set and the center still has moist crumbs.
10. Cool completely in the pan, then chill for cleaner slices before cutting into squares.
Notes
For the fudgiest brownies, remove the pan from the oven when a toothpick comes out with moist crumbs, not wet batter.
Cool the brownies completely before slicing so the mint chocolate layer sets and the squares look clean.
Use chunky Mint Aero pieces through the middle if you want a more visible mint layer after baking.
