Chewy Chocolate Mint Brownies
Ingredients:
5 Bigelow®
Plantation Mint Tea Bags (or Bigelow
Mint Medley Herb Tea Bags)
½ cup water
1 3/4 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
¾ cup (1-1/2 sticks) unsalted butter
4 large eggs, room temperature
½ cup brown sugar
½ cup granulated sugar
1 cup all-purpose flour
9x13 inch baking pan, greased and floured
Yield: Yields one 9" x 13" pan.
Instructions:
These chewy brownies are packed with intense chocolate and
mint flavor, thanks to
Bigelow® Plantation MintTM Tea. If you prefer a
caffeine-free tea alternative, substitute the same amount of
Bigelow Mint Medley® Herb Tea.
Preheat oven to 350 degrees and set the rack on the middle
setting.
Place tea bags in ½ cup of hot water. Set aside to cool, and
then remove tea bags, squeezing out liquid from bags.
Meanwhile, place 1-¼ cups of the chocolate chips and butter
in a metal bowl. Set over a saucepan filled with about 2 inches of
water, to create a double-boiler. Heat on low and let chocolate and
butter melt, stirring frequently.
In a medium sized bowl, whisk together eggs and sugars until well
blended. Add the cooled tea mixture and whisk to combine. Add a few
tablespoons of the melted chocolate/butter combination to the egg
mixture and stir to combine. Add the remaining chocolate and
incorporate. Lastly, add the flour and remaining ½ cup of
chocolate chips, mixing until smooth.
Pour batter into prepared pan. Bake approximately 25 minutes.
Center will feel firm but still moist. Bake 5-10 minutes longer for
a drier brownie. Place pan on a wire rack to cool completely before
cutting into 20 squares.
