JUNIOR MINT BROWNIES

Category: Brownies/Blondies

1 (5.5 oz) box Junior Mints
1 1/2 cups melted butter
3 cups sugar
1 Tbsp. vanilla
5 eggs
2 Cups flour
1 cup cocoa
1 tsp baking powder
1 tsp salt

Preheat oven to 350. Grease a 13x9 inch baking pan. In a large bowl, stir together butter, sugar and vanilla extract. Add eggs, beat until well blended. Stir in flour, cocoa, baking powder and salt. Blend well.

Reserve 2 cups batter. Spread remaining batter in prepared pan. Arrange Junior Mints in a single layer over the batter. Spread the remaining batter over Junior Mints.

Bake for 50 to 55 minutes or until brownies begin to pull away from sides of pan. Cool completely in pan on wire rack. Cut into squares.

Another easy way if you are in a hurry is to mix up your favorite brownie mix, bake as directed, and as soon as they come out of the oven, spread the Junior Mints out over the top and cover tightly with foil until the candies begin to melt. Then spread in swirls across the top and let cool.
