Ingredients
  

  • ¾ cup gluten free flour blend * see notes
  • ⅓ cup cocoa powder unsweetened
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder aluminum-free
  • ⅛ teaspoon salt
  • ¾ cup brown sugar light or dark is fine
  • 3 large eggs
  • ½ cup unsalted butter *see notes
  • 8 ounces chocolate * see notes

Instructions
 

  • On a cutting board, chop the candy you plan to use. I used Junior Mints and York Peppermint Patties.
  • Preheat the oven to 350º F and set the oven rack to the middle of the oven.
  • In a large mixing bowl, add the dry ingredients and whisk to blend.
  • Get a medium-size microwave-safe bowl and add the chocolate and butter.
  • Microwave the chocolate at 20-second intervals, stirring between each. Once the chocolate is melted, remove it from the microwave.
  • Let the chocolate mixture cool a little, then add the eggs. Whisk to blend them together. If your chocolate is too hot, it can cook the eggs. You can also temper the eggs by placing the whisked eggs into a small bowl. Add a tablespoon of the chocolate butter mixture and whisk. Repeat and then it is okay to pour the mixture into the larger bowl of chocolate and butter.
  • Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Add the chopped Junior Mints and York Peppermint Patties.
  • Mix into a soft brownie batter.
  • Line an 8x8 or 9x13 (if you like your brownies thinner) pan with parchment paper. Place the brownie batter into the baking pan.
  • Bake for 25-30 minutes, depending on the pan size.
  • Remove from the oven to a cooling rack. The melted mint candy will be very hot, so do not eat these right out of the oven.

Notes

  1. I have tested this recipe with King Arthur Measure for Measure GF and Bob's Red Mill 1 to 1 GF blend. That doesn't mean others will not work, I just have not tested other flours.
  2. Xanthan Gum - If your gluten free flour blend doesn’t contain xanthan gum or guar gum, please add 1 teaspoon.
  3. You can use a dairy-free or plant-based butter if you prefer, but know that the Junior Mints and Peppermint Patties contain dairy. If you want these brownies to be dairy-free, you must use a teaspoon of peppermint extract.
  4. These brownies should be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator.

SPECIAL NOTE

Please know that every gluten free flour blend has a different starch to grain ratio. If you use a blend I didn't test, you may need to adjust your moisture levels in your baked goods.
