    • Dense and fudgy texture.
    • Perfect for the festive season.
    • Freezer-friendly.

    🛒 Ingredient notes

    Ingredients for mint aero brownies.

    Butter - unsalted butter.

    Sugar - use a combination of caster sugar and light brown sugar for the best texture.

    Chocolate - a good quality dark chocolate (70% cocoa solids), chopped into small pieces.

    Eggs - 5 large eggs at room temperature.

    Flour - plain flour.

    Cocoa Powder - a good quality cocoa powder and not drinking chocolate.

    Mint Chocolate - I used Mint Aero Bubbles, but you could use other mint chocolate such as After Eights. Freeze the mint chocolate for at least 1 hour.

    Topping - dark chocolate and more mint aero bubbles.

    🔪 Instructions

    The recipe card with ingredient quantities and detailed instructions can be found at the bottom of the post

    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.

    Seven: Allow the brownie to cool in the tin.

    Eight: Melt the dark chocolate for the topping, drizzle over the top and add more chopped mint Aero bubbles. Cut into squares and serve.

    💭 Expert tips

    • It's really important to freeze the mint Aero bubbles for at least an hour before making the recipe, to ensure they don't completely melt and lose shape when baked. The mint Aero bubbles for the top do not need to be frozen.
    • Grease and line the baking tin to prevent 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 or raisins.
    • Use other mint chocolate! After Eight mints work well in a layer.

    🥡 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.
