Chocolate Mint Christmas Tree Brownies
½ cup unsalted butter (115g)
3 oz dark chocolate, in pieces (150g)
¾ cup dark brown sugar (150g)
½ cup white sugar (100g)
2 eggs, at room temperature
1 teaspoon good peppermint extract 
⅓ cup ROGERS FOODS All Purpose Flour (45g)⅓ cup dark chocolate chips or chunks (50g)
⅓ cup dark chocolate chips or chunks (50g)
⅓ cup white chocolate chips or chunks (50g)
¼ teaspoon vanilla extract 

Instructions

1.Preheat oven to 350ºF / 180ºC.
2.Line the bottom and 2 sides of an 8-inch square pan with parchment paper.
3.Melt dark chocolate with butter in the microwave (at 10 second intervals) or in a double boiler with the bottom not touching the water.
4.Take off the heat and add sugars. Mix well.
5.Add eggs and mix until it’s creamy and mixed well.
6.Add flour and combine.
7.Add the chocolate chips or chunks, mint and vanilla extracts, and mix well.
8.Pour batter into the prepared pan. Smooth the top.
9.Bake for about 25 minutes, until a bit puffed and the surface is dry. They still have to be a little jiggly in the middle.
10.Let cool completely on a wire rack before lifting the paper carefully so they come out in one piece. Place brownies on a flat surface and cut them into squares.
11.I prefer to put them for a day in the fridge, well wrapped. It makes cutting them much easier into tree shapes. To cut brownie into triangles, cut into 3 rows. (See link below for diagram.) Cut each row into 5 triangles. Set aside leftover pieces for snacking. See diagram below for cutting into trees.
12.Drizzle with chocolate or icing and favourite candies. Instert half a straw!
