MINT CREAM CHEESE SWIRL BROWNIES

This is a variation of the One-Bowl Brownies recipe from the Baker's Unsweetened Chocolate package, which is my go-to brownie recipe, made better by the addition of melted mint chips. If you want to go really minty, you could add a little dash of peppermint extract to the mix, but I think it was pleasantly minty without it.

Time 55m

Yield 24 brownies, 24 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

Ingredients

4 ounces unsweetened chocolate
3/4 cup unsalted butter (1-1/2 sticks)
2 cups sugar
4 large eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 cup flour
1 cup guittard mint chocolate chips, melted (about 6 oz.)
8 ounces cream cheese, softened at room temperature
1 egg
2 tablespoons flour

Steps:

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Line a 9x13 baking pan with foil, then grease the foil (cooking spray works well).
In a large bowl, melt the unsweetened chocolate and butter together (you can do this in a double boiler or in the microwave on HIGH for 2 minutes). Set aside and let cool about 10 minutes.
Add sugar, vanilla, and 4 eggs to chocolate mixture, and stir until well-combined.
Add 1 cup flour and stir until flour is completely incorporated.
In a separate mixing bowl, melt 1 cup green mint chips (again, on a double-boiler setup or in the microwave).
Add softened cream cheese, 1 egg, and 2 tablespoons flour, and beat on medium speed until mixture is well-combined (it will be a little fluffy and thick).
Spread the chocolate mixture into the greased foiled pan.
Drop spoonfuls of the mint/cream cheese mixture evenly over the chocolate and swirl a knife around the pan several times to create a marbled effect.
Bake for 40 minutes at 350 degrees, or until a toothpick inserted in the middle comes out with fudgy crumbs (DO NOT overbake).

Love Mint & Chocolate. These are pretty also. Add to a cookie tray for that touch of green color, and the mint flavor. From a 1981 cookie book.

Tips:

Use the best quality chocolate you can find. Good chocolate will make a big difference in the flavor of your brownies.
Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing can make the brownies tough.
Bake the brownies until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with just a few moist crumbs attached. Overbaking will make the brownies dry.
Let the brownies cool completely before cutting them. This will help them to hold their shape.
Serve the brownies with your favorite toppings, such as ice cream, whipped cream, or fresh berries.

These mint swirl brownies are a delicious and easy-to-make treat that are perfect for any occasion. The minty flavor is a refreshing twist on the classic brownie recipe, and the chocolate swirl adds a rich and decadent flavor.
