Sugar - 7.1 oz

Step by Step guide

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 356°F. Grease a rectangular or square baking pan (preferably 25x25 cm) with a small amount of butter. In a saucepan over low heat, melt 3 tablespoons of butter and 60 grams of chocolate. Allow to cool.

Step 2

Using a mixer, beat the eggs and sugar for 5 minutes until frothy. Add the chocolate-butter mixture, flour, 0.5 teaspoon of mint, vanilla, and salt. Mix until smooth. Fold in the chopped nuts.

Step 3

Transfer the batter to the pan and bake in the oven for 25 minutes. Check for doneness with a wooden stick — the batter inside should not be sticky. Remove from the oven and let cool.

Step 4

Beat the powdered sugar with 2 tablespoons of butter, milk, and the remaining mint extract until creamy. Spread the mixture over the warm brownies. Refrigerate for an hour.

Step 5

Melt the remaining chocolate and 2 tablespoons of butter over low heat. Let cool slightly and evenly spread over the brownies. Cover and refrigerate for another hour. Then cut into 20 squares.
