Ingredients

Brownies

  • 1 1/8 cups butter 18 tablespoons
  • 3/4 cup cocoa powder
  • 2 cups sugar
  • 4 large eggs
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla
  • 1 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup mint chocolate chips

Frosting

  • 2 egg whites
  • 3/4 cup shortening
  • 4 tablespoons butter room temperature
  • 2 3/4 cups powdered sugar
  • 1 pinch salt
  • 1/4 - 1/2 teaspoon mint extract
  • Green food coloring enough to make the shade of green you want (optional).

Chocolate mint drizzle

  • 2/3 cup chocolate mint chips
  • 2 teaspoons corn syrup
  • 1 tablespoon milk

Instructions

  • In a medium saucepan over medium-low heat melt the butter and cocoa.
  • Remove from the heat, stir in the sugar. Blend the eggs in one at a time. Add the vanilla and stir in.
  • Stir in the flour. When the flour is combined stir in the mint chocolate chips.
  • Spread the batter into a 9 by 13-inch pan. Bake at 350 degrees F for 25 to 30 minutes. Be careful not to over bake. Remove from the oven and cool completely.
  • While the brownies are cooling make the frosting.
  • In a medium bowl add the egg whites, shortening, and butter. With an electric mixer beat together.
  • Mix in the vanilla. Add the powdered sugar and salt and beat in. (If the frosting is too soft add additional powdered sugar).
  • Add the mint extract no more than 1/4 teaspoon and blend in. If you desire more mint flavor add the remaining 1/4 teaspoon. For the food coloring add only a little at a time until the desired color.
  • Spread the frosting over the cooled brownies.
  • For the chocolate mint drizzle combine - 2/3 cup of chocolate mint chips, corn syrup, and milk into a small saucepan. Over low heat melt the ingredients until the chocolate is melted and creamy.
  • Drizzle the melted chocolate over the top of the brownies.

Notes

  1. Make sure that the eggs are room temperature
  2. Don't overbake the brownies, check with a wooden pick
  3. Cool completely before frosting the loaded fudge mint brownies
  4. Add the mint extract gradually until desired flavoring.
