The unbeatable combination of chocolate and mint guarantees a fabulous finish and great for any occasion. Ingredients:
8 tablespoons (1 stick) unsalted butter, plus more for pan |
8 ounces semisweet or bittersweet chocolate, chopped |
1 cup sugar |
3/4 teaspoon salt |
3 large eggs |
1/2 cup all-purpose flour (spooned and leveled) |
1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder |
25 small (1 1/2 inch) peppermint patties |
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Line an 8-inch square baking pan with aluminum foil, leaving an overhang on all sides; butter foil. Set aside.
2. Place chocolate and butter in a medium heatproof bowl set over (not in) a saucepan of gently simmering water. Stir occasionally just until melted, 4 to 5 minutes.
3. Remove from heat. Whisk in sugar and salt until smooth; whisk in eggs. Gently whisk in flour and cocoa powder just until smooth (do not overmix).
4. Spread 1/3 of batter in prepared pan. Arrange peppermint patties on batter in a single layer, leaving a narrow border on all sides. Top with remaining batter, and smooth surface. Bake until a toothpick inserted in center comes out with moist crumbs attached, 45 to 55 minutes.
5. Cool completely in pan. Use foil to lift from pan; peel off foil and discard. Cut into 16 squares (4 rows by 4 rows).
