    Deep, dark, chocolate fudge with a hint of mint! These Junior Mint Brownies have great texture and flavor and just one pan of them will disappear fast between just two people. Don't ask me how I know.....

    What is it that makes us all think of the same thing (or food) at the same time? What is it about brownies lately that have us all thinking about them? I'm not sure what the answer is to that question. Maybe its because we all (guys and girls!) are having chocolate cravings?

    Junior Mint Brownies
    Of course, I am trying to make things in the house healthier so Grumpy doesn't blame me anymore for his getting fat (did I just say that?)! Cooking Light has a lot of brownie recipes. I have earmarked a few recipes that I want to try and if they turn out and are scrumptious, I will share them with you.

    Which brings us to today's post. The Junior Mint Brownie, published in Cooking Light, March 1999 magazine. Ten years later I am finally making it. I don't know why it took me so long, I love chocolate, I love brownies, and I love mint! It won't be another 10 years before I make this recipe again, that is for certain!

    Junior Mint Brownies
    Author: From Cooking Light Magazine
    Ingredients
    • Junior Mint Brownies
    • Cooking Light, March 1999
    • Cooking spray
    • ¼ cup butter
    • 32 (about 3 ounces) creamy, small-size mints in pure chocolate (such as Junior Mints)
    • 1 cup all-purpose flour
    • ¼ teaspoon baking soda
    • ⅛ teaspoon salt
    • ⅔ cup sugar
    • ⅓ cup unsweetened cocoa
    • 1 large egg
    • 1 large egg white
    Instructions
    1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
    2. Coat bottom of an 8-inch square baking pan with cooking spray.
    3. Combine butter and mints in a 2-cup glass measure; microwave at high 30 seconds or until soft. Stir until smooth, and set aside.
    4. Lightly spoon flour into a dry measuring cup, and level with a knife. Combine flour, soda, and salt in a bowl. Combine sugar, cocoa, egg, and egg white in a large bowl; beat at medium speed of a mixer until well-blended. Add mint mixture; beat well. Add flour mixture; beat at low speed just until blended. Pour batter into prepared pan. Bake at 350 degrees for 20 minutes or until a wooden pick inserted in center comes out clean; cool completely on a wire rack.
    Notes
    This makes 16 brownies at 121 calories per brownie![br]I used Penzey's cocoa powder to make this recipe. I highly recommend it! This cocoa powder brings real richness and fudginess to the recipe that you won't get with other cocoa powders.
