Instructions
 

Preparation Steps

  • Preheat oven to 350°F and line a 9x13 inch baking dish with parchment paper.
  • In a large bowl, combine granulated sugar, brown sugar, vanilla extract, salt, eggs, and egg yolks until smooth.
  • Melt butter and semi-sweet chocolate chips in a double boiler, then whisk until fully combined.
  • Whisk in the vegetable oil to the melted chocolate mixture and then pour this into the sugar mixture. Stir until fully incorporated.
  • Gently fold the flour and cocoa powder into the batter until just combined.
  • Pour brownie batter into the prepared baking pan, then place the Mint Oreos evenly on top and gently press down so they are embedded in the batter.
  • Bake for 35 minutes or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean. Allow brownies to cool.
  • For the ganache, place white chocolate chips in a heat-safe bowl. Heat heavy cream over medium heat until simmering but not boiling.
  • Pour the hot cream over the chocolate and let sit for 3 minutes. Stir until smooth and creamy.
  • Add green food coloring a few drops at a time until desired Grinch green color is reached.
  • Pour the ganache over the cooled brownies and spread evenly with a knife.
  • Sprinkle red and heart-shaped sprinkles over the ganache to decorate each brownie piece.
  • Let brownies sit for at least 1 hour to allow ganache to set before slicing and serving.

Notes

For best results, cool brownies completely before adding ganache. Store leftovers tightly wrapped.
