Tips & Variations
- Extra fudgy brownies: Use half butter, half chocolate for the base
- Mint intensity: Adjust peppermint extract to taste
- Festive twist: Sprinkle crushed candy canes on top before ganache sets
- Mini versions: Make in a cupcake pan for individual treats
If you want, I can also make a one-bowl, no-bake mint brownie fudge version that’s faster and just as rich 😄.
Do you want me to do that?
