MINT CHOCOLATE BROWNIE BITES


Wow, my first baking post! I bake a lot so i'm shocked this is my first one. Definitely having another go at Piñata Cookies soon, they were quite the disaster. But Dylan and I made these yesterday and there were super yummy, so here's the recipe if you'd like to have a go!

Ingredients
115g of Butter
115g of Dark Chocolate
300g Caster Sugar
A Pinch of Salt
2 Large Eggs
140g of Plain Flour
2 tbsp of Cocoa Powder
50g of White Chocolate
A Hand full of Mini Marshmallows and Biscuit Pieces

Method
001. Preheat oven to 180°C /350°F/Gas Mark 4. Line an 18cm square baking tin with Grease Proof paper. 

002. Chop the white chocolate into small chunks. Break the Dark chocolate into bits and but into a heatproof bowl with the butter and heat over a pan of simmering water until melted and smooth. Stir and leave to cool slightly.

003. Stir in the Caster Sugar, the Salt, then gradually stir in the Eggs. Stir well until blended.

004. Sift the Flour and Cocoa into the mixture and beat well until smooth. Stir in the White chocolate chunks, Biscuit Pieces and Mini Marshmallows. Transfer to the tin and smooth the surface.

005. Bake for 30-35 minutes (or longer if you don't want them as gooey). Stick a fork through the brownie to check it's cooked through, the fork should come out clean when inserted into the centre. Remember the brownies should still be fudgy inside!

006. Leave to cool in the tin for a while while you melt the Mint Chocolate topping.

007. Break up the Peppermint Chocolate into small pieces and place in a heatproof bowl and heat over a pot of simmering water until fully melted, keep stirring throughout. 

008. Pour the melted chocolate over the brownie and smooth over to create an even surface then leave to harden. I placed mine in the fridge overnight to set. Then remove from the baking tray and cut into 12 even pieces.


Ps. Enjoy and Remember to share!
