Mint Chocolate Fudge Brownie Cups
Oh my! I drooled and drooled over these luscious Mint Chocolate Fudge Brownie Cups! These delicious brownies are made in miniature muffin pans and include cocoa, a semi-sweet chocolate baking bar, chocolate chips and mint fudge-flavored baking chunks. (Think Andes Mints). Talk about swooning! Yes, we swooned over these delectable treats.

I made ten batches for Christmas cookies this year, and one of the batches slipped slightly when I retrieved it from the oven. So there were several of these jewels that were not good enough to put in bags for Christmas gifts, but were certainly mouthwatering enough for me to sample (even if some of the brownie cups were in clumps!) My husband and I both loved these amazing Mint Chocolate Fudge Brownie Cups. 🙂
I have since made them several times for company and other events. Without a doubt, these Mint Chocolate Fudge Brownie Cups are spectacular. I purchase the Mint Fudge-Flavored Baking Chips at our local Walmart. They carry them year-round, so I periodically pick up a few packages and bake something with them. Yum.
I’ve used these Mint Fudge-Flavored Baking Chips before in Mint Chocolate Fudge Cookies and Mint Chocolate Fudge Tea Cakes. I also made a Gluten Free Mint Chocolate Fudge Brownie and a Gluten Free Mint Chocolate Fudge Cookie! They are a winner every time I use them. And they turned out extraordinarily well in this amazing brownie cup recipe. I recommend them for tailgating parties, potlucks, backyard barbecues or a Christmas Cookie Exchange. The sky is the limit! 🙂
Mint Chocolate Fudge Brownie Cups are rich, decadent, divine!
Every bite will rock your world! If you need a nut-free dessert, these awesome brownies should top your list!
These brownie cups are rich with chocolate flavor. They include cocoa, semi-sweet chocolate chips, a semi-sweet chocolate baking bar and chocolate from the mint fudge-flavored baking chips. YUM!
I could have eaten a whole pan of these decadent brownies!
Here’s what I did.
I used these ingredients.
In a medium saucepan, melt butter with cocoa, baking chocolate and part of the mint fudge-flavored baking chips. This picture reflects more than a single batch.
Melt ingredients over low to medium heat, stirring frequently. Once everything is melted, remove from heat. Allow mixture to cool for 5-10 minutes.
Add granulated sugar.
Stir ingredients with a whisk to combine.
Add eggs, one at a time, whisking well after each addition.
Here, all the eggs have been whisked into the mixture.
Add vanilla and salt.
Whisk again to combine.
Add unbleached all-purpose flour. (Bleached flour toughens baked goods).
Stir well to combine.
Add semi-sweet chocolate chips and mint fudge-flavored baking chunks.
Stir again to combine.
Spray miniature muffin tins very generously with cooking spray. Spoon brownie mixture into the tins almost to the top.
Bake at 350 degrees about 10 minutes before rotating pans on oven racks; bake another 10 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in center comes out clean.
Allow brownie cups to cool in pans until completely cool. Remove to platters to serve.
Seriously, we were swooning over these scrumptious Mint Chocolate Fudge Brownie Cups.
I purchase the mint fudge-flavored baking chunks at Walmart. It’s their store brand substitute for Andes Mints. They are terrific in baked goods.
If you love chocolate, you’ll rave over these drool-worthy brownies!
