Print Save Mint Chocolate Brownie Bites Recipe Embed Ingredients For the Brownies: 1 stick Salted Butter, melted 1/2 cup Unsweetened Cocoa Powder 1 cup Granulated Sugar 2 large Eggs 1 1/2 teaspoons Pure Vanilla Extract 1/2 teaspoon Mint Extract 2/3 cup All-Purpose Flour 3 Milk Chocolate Bars, (1.55 ounces), melted in the microwave For the Frosting: 1 stick Salted Butter, slightly softened 1/2 teaspoon Mint Extract 1/2 teaspoon Pure Vanilla Extract 1/3 cup Heavy Cream 2 cups Powdered Sugar 2 drops Green Food Coloring Directions For the Brownies: Preheat oven to 350°F. Spray 24 mini muffin cups with nonstick spray and set aside. In a large bowl, whisk butter and cocoa powder together until cocoa is dissolved and mixture is thick. Stir in sugar until combined. Stir in eggs, mixing until combined. Add vanilla and mint extracts. Add flour, stirring just until no white streaks remain in batter. Fold in melted candy bars. Use a small cookie scoop to divide batter in prepared muffin. Bake for about 12-15 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out with fudgy crumbs, but not raw batter. Let cool slightly, about 15 minutes, then use a sharp knife to loosen brownie bites and remove from pan. Let cool completely. For the Buttercream: In the bowl of your mixer, beat butter, extracts, and cream on medium-low speed until combined. With the mixer on low, slowly add powdered sugar, beating until just barely mixed. Add food coloring and increase speed to high – beat for one minute. Generously frost or pipe frosting on brownie bites. To Serve: Sprinkle with chocolate sprinkles or chocolate cookie crumbs, if desired.   Recommended Cuisinart Stainless Steel Mixing Bowls Breville Hand Mixer Le Creuset Revolution Spatula via Food Fanatic http://ift.tt/2FupZNT Food Fanatic
