After Eight Triple Chocolate Brownies

These indulgent After Eight Triple Chocolate Brownies are made with three different types of chocolates and of course After Eight Mints. Perfect brownies for anytime of the year.

After Eight Brownies are nothing new, I know as I have seen them on social media may times before. However, having bought one too many boxes of these chocolates over Christmas, I decided that it was time for me to have a go at making my own version. Therefore, my After Eight Triple Chocolate Brownies are just that.

I added different types chocolate to this recipe, to compliment the mint flavour and because I had scraps of chocolate lurking inside my kitchen cupboard. However, I find that mint works well with both dark and white chocolate best, so of course I had to add both to my brownies.

The cooked brownies were also decorated with more chocolate still: milk, white and some more After Eight Mints too.

These After Eight Triple Chocolate Brownies tasted so delicious. They were still slightly gooey in the middle which just makes them so melt in the mouth perfect in my opinion .

This is another recipe that is great for using up any leftover chocolates.
