16 brownies--- easy

Junior Mints and movie-going are inextricably linked. We've captured their chilly, chocolaty goodness in these brownies, just the thing for a home video fest.

  RECIPE INGREDIENTS

Cooking spray
1/4 cup butter or stick margarine
32 (about 3 ounces) creamy, small-size
mints in pure chocolate (such as Junior Mints)*
1 cup all-purpose flour
1/4 teaspoon baking soda
1/8 teaspoon salt
2/3 cup sugar
1/3 cup unsweetened cocoa
1 large egg
1 large egg white

*Note: Two large (1.5-ounce) mints or 6 miniature
chocolate-covered peppermint patties (such as York)
may be substituted for 32 Junior Mints.

  RECIPE METHOD

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.

Coat bottom of an 8-inch square baking pan with cooking spray.

Combine butter and mints in a 2-cup glass measuring cup; microwave on high 30 seconds or until soft. Stir until smooth, and set aside.

Lightly spoon flour into a dry measuring cup, and level with a knife. Combine flour, soda, and salt in a bowl.

Combine sugar, cocoa, egg, and egg white in a large bowl; beat at medium speed of a mixer until well-blended. Add mint mixture; beat well. Add flour mixture; beat at low speed just until blended.

Pour batter into prepared pan. Bake at 350 degrees F for 20 minutes or until a wooden pick inserted in center comes out clean; cool completely on a wire rack.
