Instructions

Preheat the oven to 350ºF (177ºC). Line an 8" or 9" square baking pan with foil and spray with nonstick spray. Set aside.
In a medium saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter and chopped chocolate, stirring frequently until completely smooth. Allow to cool for about 15 minutes.
Whisk sugar into the cooled chocolate mixture until combined. Add the eggs one at a time, whisking after each addition until smooth. Whisk in the vanilla. Add the flour and salt and stir gently until completely combined.
Pour the batter into the prepared pan and bake for 25-30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out mostly clean. Allow the brownies to cool completely before moving on to the other layers.

Notes

Allow the brownies to cool completely before cutting for clean edges.
Feel free to adjust the amount of peppermint extract based on your preference for mint flavor.
These brownies can be stored in an airtight container for up to a week.
