Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line an 8x8 inch baking pan with parchment paper.
- In a bowl, mix melted butter and granulated sugar, then add eggs one at a time. Stir in cocoa powder, flour, and salt until just combined.
- In another bowl, beat cream cheese until smooth, gradually adding powdered sugar and mint extract.

Notes
Room temperature ingredients yield better texture; ensure butter, eggs, and cream cheese are not cold.
For added mint flavor, fold in crushed peppermint candies or use mint-flavored chocolate chips.
Customize by adding nuts or using gluten-free flour substitutes if needed.
