1boxAndes Mints (plus extra for the top of the brownies)
½cupUnsalted Butter
1 ½cupGranulated Sugar
2Large Eggs
2teaspoonVanilla Extract
1cupAll-Purpose Flour
½cupDutch Process Cocoa Powder
½teaspoonSalt
Instructions
Generously spray an 8 inch square baking pan with a flour-based baking spray. Set aside. Tip: If you'd like to be able to pull the brownies out of the pan easier to cut them, add 2 overlapping strips of parchment paper on top of the flour-based coated pan, then spray again with the flour-based baking spray. If you plan to just keep them in the pan to cut them, then you can skip the parchment paper.
Adjust the oven rack at the 2nd level mark (just above center), preheat oven to 350ºF.
Unwrap all the Andres Mints in the box and place them in a large microwaveable mixing bowl along with the unsalted butter. Melt together in the microwave for 1 minute at full power, whisk, then heat again for 30-45 seconds. Whisk once more until it's all melted together. Whisk in the granulated sugar.

Notes
In place of dutch process cocoa powder, you can also use unsweetened cocoa powder.
It's best to get 2 boxes of Andes Mints for this double chocolate mint brownies recipe. One for melting into the brownie batter and the other to use a few of the chocolates for topping.
One box of Andes Mints is 4.67 ounces and gives you 28 pieces.
You can use another mint chocolate candy (like Ghirardelli) if you prefer. Or you can use regular dark chocolate and add in 2 teaspoons of mint extract.
