Cooking the dish according to the recipe:


  1. Preheat oven to 325°F (160°C). Line a 9 x 13-inch baking sheet with foil, leaving a 2-inch overhang on all sides; spray with cooking spray.
  2. In a medium bowl, combine the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. In a saucepan, melt the butter and milk chocolate over medium-low heat, stirring constantly. Remove from the heat and add both sugars. Beat in the eggs, one at a time, then add the vanilla extract and milk. Gently fold in the flour mixture and knead until smooth. Pour the dough into the prepared pan.

  3. Bake until a toothpick inserted into the center of a brownie comes out with a few crumbs, about 45 minutes. Transfer the pan to a wire rack and let cool completely. Remove the brownies from the pan by pulling the edges of the foil.
  4. Meanwhile, prepare the topping.:

    In the bowl of a stand mixer, combine the gelatin, salt, and 1/4 cup water. Let stand for 2 minutes. In a small saucepan, combine the granulated sugar, corn syrup, and 1/4 cup water. Bring to a boil over medium heat and cook, without stirring, until the sugar dissolves, 1 minute. With the mixer fitted with the whisk attachment on low speed, gradually pour in the sugar syrup. Gradually increase the speed to high; beat until thick and fluffy, 12-14 minutes. Stir in the vanilla and mint extracts.
  5. Spray a silicone spatula with cooking spray and spread the topping over the brownies. Sprinkle with mint candies and let set for about 2 hours. Cut into pieces using a knife sprayed with cooking spray.
