Ingredients




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

Preparation

1 Preheat oven to 350 degrees. 2 Coat bottom of an 8-inch square baking pan with cooking spray. 3 Combine butter and mints in a 2-cup glass measure; microwave at high 30 seconds or until soft. Stir until smooth, and set aside. 4 Lightly spoon flour into a dry measuring cup, and level with a knife. Combine flour, soda, and salt in a bowl.  5 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. 6 Pour batter into prepared pan. Bake at 350 degrees for 20 minutes or until a wooden pick inserted in center comes out clean; cool completely on a wire rack.
