Ingredients

Ingredients

1 cup butter, melted
1 cup cocoa
2 cups sugar
4 eggs
1-1/2 tsp. vanilla
1-1/3 cup flour
1 tsp. baking powder
1/2 tsp. salt
3/4 cup Andes mints, chopped
3/4 cup chocolate chips
Amaretto, or
any chocolate, almond or
coffee liquer

Instructions

Melt butter. Stir in cocoa and sugar while hot, stir until sugar is slightly dissolved and looks smooth. Off the heat, stir in eggs and vanilla. Blend in flour, baking powder, and salt. Mix thoroughly until smooth.

Now for the fun part. Add between 1/2 and 1 cup each chopped Andes mints and chocolate chips. Attempt to mix thoroughly. Spread batter in a greased and cocoa dusted 13x9x2-inch pan. Firmly grasp the bottle of your favourite liqueur, placing one thumb lightly over the bottle opening. Splash this thoroughly over the batter until it looks like a field that's just been rained on; puddly in places, dry in others. (I don't know how much I use; go with what you think is enough.)

Bake at 350°F for 30-35 minutes, do not expect them to look done. These are best given a little time to cool so the chocolate can set again. For even more decadence, sprinkle the just done brownies with chocolate chips and sliced almonds or whatever nuts you like and put back into the oven just long enough to warm them onto the surface.

These brownies are easy to make and delicious. I tried them once and they soon became a favorite. My daughter even requested these brownies instead of a cake for her last birthday. The mint flavour from the Andes baking chips is strong so this is for mint lovers only!
