One: Place the butter and sugars in a large saucepan and melt on a low heat, stirring often.
Two: Take off the heat and stir in the dark chocolate pieces until they have melted.
Three: Beat in the eggs.
Four: Fold in the plain flour and cocoa powder. Allow the mixture to cool for 5 minutes.
Five: Mix in the frozen mint aero bubbles.
Six: Pour the brownie mixture into the prepared tin and bake for 30 minutes until just set.

Eight: Melt the dark chocolate for the topping, drizzle over the top and add more chopped mint Aero bubbles. Cut into squares and serve.
Top Tips
- It's essential to freeze the Mint Aero bubbles for at least an hour before baking to prevent them from melting and losing their shape. However, the bubbles for the top don't need to be frozen.
- Also, be sure to grease and line the baking tin to keep the brownies from sticking.
🍴 Serving suggestions
Serve the mint Aero brownies with a glass of milk or a cup of tea!
They're also great for festive gatherings and parties. They always make an appearance at our Boxing Day buffet, alongside my puff pastry sausage rolls, Christmas tiffin, Christmas star biscuits, and cranberry and white chocolate blondies!
📖 Variations
- Add crushed candy canes to the topping for a more festive mint chocolate brownie.
- Add chopped nuts for crunch. Pecan nuts are nice.
- Stir through dried cranberries, chocolate chips or raisins.
- Use other mint chocolate! After Eight mints work well in a layer.
- For extra mint flavour add a drop of mint extract.
🥡 Storage
Store - the brownies will keep in an airtight container for up to 5 days.
Freeze - place the brownies in a freezer-safe container and freeze for up to 3 months.
