# Ingredients:

→ Brownies

01 - ½ teaspoon salt
02 - 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter
03 - 4 large eggs
04 - 1¼ cups all-purpose flour
05 - 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
06 - 2 cups granulated white sugar
07 - 1¼ cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
08 - ¼ cup brown sugar
09 - ¾ cup unsweetened cocoa powder

→ Mint Fudge

10 - 6 drops green food coloring (optional)
11 - 1 cup sweetened condensed milk
12 - 1½ teaspoons mint extract
13 - 2½ cups white chocolate chips

→ Topping

14 - Extra pieces of chopped mints, if you'd like more
15 - 1 cup chopped Andes Mints

# Steps:

01 - Turn the oven on to 350℉. Grab a 9x13 pan, cover it with foil, making sure the ends hang over for easy lifting. Coat the foil lightly with cooking spray.
02 - In a microwave, melt butter with chocolate in short bursts of 30 seconds until smooth. Stir in cocoa powder. Mix in both sugars, salt, and vanilla. Add eggs one at a time, whisking each in. Finally, gently blend in the flour until just smooth.
03 - Microwave condensed milk and white chocolate chips in short rounds of 30 seconds until creamy. Add food coloring and mint extract and stir well.
04 - In the pan, pour in half the brownie mixture. Layer mint fudge over that, then cover with the rest of the brownie batter. Sprinkle a cup of chopped mints on top. Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until it's set.
05 - Once baked, toss on a few extra chopped mints if you'd like. Let it cool to room temperature, then pop it in the fridge for at least 2 hours until firm.

# Notes:

01 - Keep cool for neater slices.
02 - Store it in the fridge for up to five days.
