Instructions
Preheat oven to 350°.
Spray 39 miniature-sized muffin cups with cooking spray.
Set aside.
In a small saucepan, melt butter, semi-sweet chocolate, ½ cup mint fudge-flavored baking chunks and cocoa over low heat.
Stir mixture until smooth.
Remove saucepan from heat and whisk in granulated sugar.
Add eggs, one at a time, whisking after each addition to combine the eggs well.
Whisk in vanilla and salt.
Fold in flour with a rubber spatula or wooden spoon until well-combined.
Stir in chocolate chips and remainder of the bag of mint fudge-flavored baking chunks (about one cup).
Fill each muffin cup full with the brownie batter.
Bake approximately 20-22 minutes at 350° until a toothpick inserted in center comes out clean and the brownie is set and edges are slightly puffed.
Cool in pan completely before removing to serving platter or storage container.
Store in an air-tight container up to 3 days before refrigerating or freezing.
Notes
NOTE: The brownies may sink slightly in the middle while cooling.NOTE: When I made multiple batches of this recipe, I allowed the cocoa mixture to cool about 10-20 minutes before adding sugar and eggs and proceeding with the recipe. Since I had to cook the mixture longer to get everything to melt it was hotter. I wanted to make sure the eggs didn’t scramble!NOTE: Try not to bake miniature muffin cups more than 22 minutes or the outside edges will get too brown and harden too much.
