Chocolate Brownies With Chocolate Chunks Dipped & Drizzled In Mint Chocolate.
-1/3 cup butter
-3/4 cup sugar
-2 Tablespoons water
-1 teaspoon vanilla
-2 eggs
-3 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
-1 cup Andes baking mints
-2 eggs
-3/4 cup flour
-1/4 teaspoon baking soda
-1/2 teaspoon salt
-2 Tablespoons shortening
It's the most wonderful time of the year. :)
Step 1: Homemade brownies!
Start by melting and boiling the butter, water, and sugar together in a saucepan. Make sure to only boil for 30-45 seconds so you don't over-boil.
Mix in vanilla and 1 cup of chocolate chips until smooth. Remove from heat after this step for 5 minutes.
The reason you let it cool- the eggs. I forgot to take a picture of this step, but regardless, make sure to let the mixture cool for a few minutes. If not, the eggs will cook when you mix them in. No one wants set up egg whites in their brownies. Add them one at a time until mixed well.
Mix the flour, salt, and baking soda in a separate bowl. Combine this mixture with the chocolate mixture. Then stir in 1 cup of chocolate chips in.
Pour into a 9"x9" or 8"x9" (that's what I used) pan lined with nonstick foil. If you don't have nonstick, just regular, put the non-shiny side up.
Bake at 325 degrees for 35 minutes. Let cool completely. I remove the foil lined brownies from the pan so they cool quicker.
Step 2: Get them dip ready!
Wrap foil around the brownies and put in the freezer for awhile. Don't let them freeze completely, because you'll need to cut them. Once they're cut, wrap them up and freeze them completely this time.
Does it get any better than this? Yes. Just wait.
Step 3: Dip and Drizzle!
Melt the remaining cup of chocolate chips and the cup of mint chips together with the shortening in a double boiler. Take the frozen brownie bars out of the freezer a few at a time and dip them. Place on wax paper, drizzle with more mint chocolate and refrigerate to harden the chocolate.

Amazing-ness.
