Aero Mint Chocolate Brownies Recipes

Aero Mint Chocolate Brownies; intensely fudgy and chocolatey brownies made with three kinds of chocolate and the flavour of fresh mint, studded with everyone’s favourite bubbly bar!

Blue Monday, the “worst day of the year” we’re told. Either that or another marketing opportunity to sell you stuff, or shove free Aero Mint Chocolate Brownies recipes in your face? Nah, not my style…

Irrespective of the date, I thrust upon you this incredibly delicious recipe that you will most definitely need to eat more than 1/16th of.

In my ongoing quest to berate the January diet trend, I give you another wonderful brownie recipe. Dense, fudgy, deeply chocolatey and rich enough to banish all other brownies from your memory, I could allow for nothing less. These brownies are made with refined flour, refined sugar, butter and chocolate with less than 70% cocoa, and guess what? No one died, they tasted delicious, and the world kept on turning! Don’t fear food or buy into the health trends, lovely readers, someone gets paid big bucks when you do! Eat. What. You. Want.

Ingredients

• 250g (8 ½ oz) dark or milk chocolate
• 230g (15 tbsp) butter
• 65g (½ cup) plain flour
• 60g (½ cup) cocoa powder
• 150g (5 oz) Aero mint bar, Aero mint bubbles, or your favourite mint chocolate
• 3 eggs
• 1 egg yolk
• 250g (2 ¼ cups) caster sugar
• 1-2 tsp peppermint extract (depending on how minty you like it!)
• Pinch of salt

Instructions

1. Preheat your oven – 160°C / 140°C fan / 325°F / gas mark 3.
2. Grease and line a tin to bake the brownies in, both 20x20cm (8x8in) or 20x30cm (8x12in) tins have worked well for me.
3. Chop up your butter and dark/milk chocolate and melt together gently in a heatproof bowl either in the microwave or over a pan of simmering water until smooth.
