Ingredients

• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• ¼ teaspoon salt
• ¾ cup white sugar
• ¼ teaspoon baking soda
• 2 tablespoons water
• 2 large eggs
• 1 teaspoon mint extract
• ⅓ cup unsalted butter
• ¾ cup unsifted all-purpose flour
• 12 (1 ounce) squares semisweet chocolate, cut into 1/2-inch chunks

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C). Grease a 9-inch square baking pan.

Step 2

Combine flour, baking soda, and salt in a medium bowl.

Step 3

Combine sugar, butter, and water in a pot over medium heat; bring to a boil. Immediately remove from the heat and add 1/2 of the semisweet chocolate, vanilla extract, and mint extract. Stir until smooth and chocolate has melted. Transfer to a large bowl and allow to cool for 10 minutes.

Step 4

Add eggs, 1 at a time, to the chocolate mixture, beating well after each addition. Gradually add flour mixture and mix until smooth. Fold in remaining chocolate. Spread batter into the prepared baking pan.

Step 5

Bake in the preheated oven until top is dry and edges have started to pull away from the sides of the pan, about 30 minutes. Let cool completely before slicing.
