A super-rich, fudge brownie loaded with minty flavor, topped with a lucious mint truffle layer and smothered in a mint-spiked chocolate coating. Oh yes.
Oh my god you guys, have I got a treat for you today. Not only is chocolate my favorite flavor in the universe but chocolate and mint together pretty much make me want to sing from the rooftops. There is literally nothing better. If you are a chco-mint lover, we are bff’s. And that brings me to these mint overload truffle brownies. If you have never had a truffle brownie.. Stop what you are doing RIGHT this second and make a batch. They will be the best brownies you will ever have in your life. You can quote me on that. These brownies are super rich and chocolate-y + loaded with minty flavor, topped with a luscious mint Oreo truffle layer and then smothered in a mint spiked chocolate coating. Talk. About. AMAZING.
Ingredients:
Instructions:
Preheat oven to 325°. Line a 9x9 baking pan with parchment paper, set aside.
Place butter, both cocoa powders and sugar in a large microwave-safe bowl and microwave for about 1 minute and 30 seconds, or until butter is melted. Mix everything together until smooth. Add in eggs, vanilla and peppermint extract and mix until smooth. Add Andes chips at this point because it is hard to evenly distribute when flour is added. Pour in the flour and mix until everything is completely combined. The batter will be very thick.
Pour the batter into your prepared baking pan and smooth it out until level. Bake for 22-25 minutes or until a toothpick comes out slightly moist with a little bit of batter left on it - the top will not look so "wet" anymore when they are done. This is what makes them fudgy. Let them cool completely in the pan.
While the brownies are cooling, prepare the truffle layer. In a large food processor, add one whole package of mint Oreo cookies and pulse into a fine crumb. Dump in cream cheese and pulse until a "dough" like consistency forms and you can't see the cream cheese anymore. Once brownies are completely cool, take chunks of the truffle mixture and pack it onto the brownie in an even layer.
In a small bowl, melt the chocolate chips and shortening at 30 second increments in the microwave until completely smooth and pourable. Stir in peppermint extract. Pour the chocolate on top of the truffle layer and spread it out with a rubber spatula into a smooth and even layer. Place tray in the refrigerator for 20 minutes to allow the top to set up properly. Take the pan out, allow the brownies to come back to room temperature for at least 10 minutes for smoother cutting lines.
Mint Overload Truffle Brownies will stay fresh for up to 5 days stored in an airtight container.
Notes
Notes: For a non-mint truffle brownie, omit all peppermint extracts, substitute chocolate chips for Andes chips (or none at all) and substitute mint Oreos for regular Oreos.
Thanks for sharing the recipe. These looks so tasty and they look like they are easy to make too. I may just have to try making them as the pictures have definitely caught my eye. They seem easy enough to make too.
I have to say, I’m somewhat like your boyfriend in that I’m not a mint lover! I am also true to normal brownies, so dislike when there is anything ‘extra’, even just nuts, in them. I do love the mint Oreos though, one of my favorite products! I think my Mom would love this recipe so I will have to pass it on.
If you don’t like mint, you’ve GOT to try the non-mint version. I’ve made 4 batches already in 2 weeks because my family can’t get enough!!
Mint + Truffles + Brownies?! I may not be able to control myself around these things. Oh my word, they looks so unbelievably delicious! I may have to make these for my hubby for Valentine’s Day! I can’t wait to try them.
They look delicious, yummy and very much amazing. I do love mint and chocolate together and separate. Thanks for sharing this recipe and you’re such a lovely gf to have done a made some mint-free brownies for your man.
ok these seriously look so yummy!! I’m a huge mint-chocolate person, so these are right up my ally! I am totally going to make these this weekend! xoxo
The layers looked so good that my mouth is watering right now! I love mint and chocolate together, so I am sure that I would like those brownies. Yeah I guess we can be bffs in that part of the universe.
Mint and chocolate are one of my favourite combinations – and I’ve just discovered how good brownies are and so these look like little bites of heaven! You are a very talented lady – and I saw in your sidebar doughnuts! I am off to check them out now!
Ah, these look and sound INCREDIBLE!! (and yes, your photography is awesome, so even before I started reading, I was sold.) I am a huge fan of the fudge-y type of brownie; I would just dive into yours. I love the unique and creative concept of combining cream cheese and mint oreos to simulate ‘truffles’. What a fun ‘hack’! This is absolutely getting pinned; thank you!

These look so delicious!! I’m one of those “weird mint haters” though so I would do them the other way
It’s strange- my hubby and I both loathe the chocolate and mint combo (unless they’re Junior Mints or After Eights, those things are ah-mazing) but we managed to breed choco-mint lovers. Weird.
So it looks like I’ve gotta bake two different batches of these this weekend. Bloggers *shakes fist*!! I’ve probably added on 10lbs this month, simply due to the recipes that I keep coming across on fellow blogger websites
D’oh!
Well this looks simply amazing at that. I love me some good brownies, I’m not sure I would put nuts on the top though. None the less, I could eat enough for like 4 people. haha But fudge-brownie types are the best kind to get hands down as well.
