Ingredients:

• 24 After Eight Dinner Mints
• 1 1/2 cups butter
• 2 1/2 cups sugar
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 teaspoon peppermint extract
• 5 eggs
• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 cup cocoa powder
• 2 teaspoons baking powder
• 1/2 teaspoon salt

Instructions:

1. Preheat Oven: Heat your oven to 325 degrees Fahrenheit (165 degrees Celsius). 🌡️

2. Prepare Baking Dish: Butter and flour a 13 X 9 inch glass baking dish, ensuring the brownies won’t stick. 🍽️

3. Cream Butter and Sugar: In a mixing bowl, cream together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy. This will provide the base for your brownie batter. 🧈

4. Add Flavorings: Beat in the vanilla and peppermint extracts until well incorporated, infusing the batter with delicious aroma and flavor. 🌿

5. Incorporate Eggs: Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition, until the mixture is smooth and well blended. 🥚

6. Combine Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, sift together the all-purpose flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt. This ensures even distribution and a smooth texture in your brownies. 🍫

7. Blend Wet and Dry Ingredients: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring until everything is thoroughly combined and you have a smooth batter.

8. Set Aside Batter: Reserve 2 cups of the batter for later use. This portion will be used to layer over the mints.

9. Layer Batter in Pan: Spread the remaining batter evenly into the prepared baking dish, ensuring it covers the bottom completely.

10. Arrange Mints: Arrange the After Eight Dinner Mints in a single layer over the batter, with each mint placed about 1/2 inch apart. This will create delicious pockets of minty goodness in every bite. 🍬

11. Add Top Layer: Spread the reserved 2 cups of batter over the mints, covering them completely and ensuring an even layer across the top.

12. Bake: Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 45 to 50 minutes, or until the brownies begin to pull away from the sides of the pan and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with moist crumbs.

13. Cool: Allow the brownies to cool completely in the pan on a wire rack. This helps them set and develop their fudgy texture.

14. Cut and Serve: Once cooled, cut the brownies into squares using a sharp knife. Serve and enjoy these decadent Peppermint Brownies with your favorite beverage or ice cream. 🍨
