My children are going back to school… Yeah! I am going back to school… not so yeah. I am in need of a pick me up. What is a better pick me up than chocolate? Chocolate and mint! These brownies are made in cupcake tins. As the batter is baking, a dip is left at the top of the brownie. I filled this dip with homemade mint icing and then dipped it into chocolate. The chocolate hardens when cooled. This becomes a tremendously rich dessert. Eating one of these makes the ending of summer break easier.
Ingredients:
Brownie mix
Cupcake cups
2 2/3 cups powdered sugar
½ cup of butter
1 tablespoon plus 1teaspoon of water
1teasppon of mint extract
4 drops of green food coloring
6 tablespoons of butter
1 cup of chocolate chips
1. Make brownies as directed by box. You may have to adjust the baking time to allow for the smaller size. Allow to cool completely.
2. Prepare mint cream by combining powdered sugar, ½ cup of butter, mint extract, and 4 drops of green coloring. Beat until smooth. Spoon into dip of brownie. Cover and refrigerate.
3. Melt 1 cup of chocolate chips with 6 tablespoons of butter. I used a microwave safe bowl in a microwave for one minute on high. Mix until smooth. Dip top of brownie cupcake into chocolate. Cover and refrigerate for at least an hour.
4. This can be made as brownie bars as well. The above two toppings will instead be spread over the top of the cooled brownie.
