STEP BY STEP
Step 1: Preheat and Prepare
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line an 8×8-inch baking pan with parchment paper for easy removal.
Step 2: Melt Chocolate and Butter
In a microwave-safe bowl, combine 1 cup of chocolate chips and melted butter. Heat in 30-second intervals, stirring until smooth.
Step 3: Mix Wet Ingredients
Whisk sugar and eggs into the melted chocolate mixture until fully combined. Stir in peppermint extract for that refreshing minty kick.
Step 4: Bake to Perfection
Pour the batter into the prepared pan. Sprinkle the remaining 1 cup of chocolate chips on top. Bake for 20–25 minutes or until a toothpick comes out with moist crumbs.
Step 5: Cool and Slice
Let the brownies cool in the pan for 30 minutes before slicing. For cleaner cuts, chill briefly in the fridge.
