Mint-Glazed Brownies Recipe

24

Ingredients

1 package (8 squares) unsweetened chocolate
1 cup butter
5 eggs
3 cups sugar
1 tbsp vanilla
1 1/2 cups flour
2 cups coarsely chopped walnuts
2 dozen wafer-thin chocolate-coated after dinner mints (Andes or similar)

Preparation

Step 1

Melt chocolate with butter in saucepan over very low heat, stirring constantly until smooth. Cool slightly. Beat eggs, sugar and vanilla in large mixer bowl at high speed 10 minutes. Blend in chocolate at low speed. Add flour, beating just to blend. Stir in walnuts.

Spread in greased 13-by-9-inch pan. Bake at 375 F for 35 - 40 minutes (do NOT overbake!). While still warm, place about 2 dozen wafer-thin chocolate-coated after-dinner mints (Andes or similar) on top of brownie cake. Return to oven about 3 minutes. Remove, then with a broad knife or spatula, spread softened mints evenly over brownies. Cool in pan, cut into squares or bars.
