[chriscrox70]

Ya I'ma Boss

[chriscrox70]

But i like eating toothpaste icing on my brownies.

[MDanggee]

OMG. why havent I found your channel soon?! x)

[flora166]

......One thing I have to say I'M OBSESED WITH MINT but the mint with chocolate of fudge

Guess what my favourite icecream is :P it is mint chocolate chip love it :D

[correctomundiniable]

i think i love u!!!

[45graduate]

"do not break your baking dish".... i just did

[PcGameHunter]

I watch these after 12 am when i can't sleep and am hungry, hoping i find something to make from the stuff left in the fridge xD

[kefka3]

this is the worst possible thing to watch when you're on a diet. Chef John's videos sabotage people into cheating their diets and getting fat and I have just one thing to say.....I don't care.. these videos are amazing, i'm subscribed and i write down my favourite into my own cook book. thanks john!

[xXxLumesUpInFumesxXx]

This guys videos sound like a Pixar film.

[leesmithy7atgmail]

MARRY ME!

[Littleasiann21]

Toothpaste~!

[angelgabriellewalker]

1:10 shell !!!

[TheStig000]

14 bakers hyperventilated.

[silentdead90]

:D :D



[silentdead90]

My little brother thinks it is mud!!! lol

[twill712]

Have you ever thought of including an annotation to the detailed recipe at the end of the video? I know it's in the description, but annotations could also be helpful for people like me who don't always look too deep...

[MarchingMac04]

I switched butter for a quarter cup of cannabutter.

1/12 of a pan makes you fly

[aalexkazamm]

My boyfriend is going to love these!

[pearlipop]

lol youre hilarious!

[night0kitchen]

"do not break...your baking dish." HAHAH

[RollandB]

I love everything mint flavored.. would it be ok if I put mint extract in the batter as well?

[xbox360tipper]

@RollandB Yes as long as it does not make it too watery. :D

[Brendster26]

should taste good though

[Brendster26]

half of the batter was 1 pound of butter  not necessary

[Zezimaownsyou]

Mine didn't come out good. Oh well, I'll try again later.

[coymn]

@Zezimaownsyou uh oh what went wrong? i wanna make m too!

[izaivi]

I will try to make it today!!!

[Zapidian]

That's a good combination! I'll try someday :D

[qfour20]

Anyone else thought he used a huge stick of butter in the pan, not realizing that the pan was small?

[toxin689]

Step 1: melt a stick of butter in a saucepan...

gonna be a good video

[devilishandlovinit14]

Butter: Wheeeee-AAAAAA-Oh god it burns!.....

....Wheeeee!!!!

[catnips0addict]

dangit. i really want to make this :(

[NakashimaKaito868]

I should try this. Chocolate mint is my favorite combination!

[NakashimaKaito868]

What if I like the taste of toothpaste? lol

[1729439568]

Why would you ice the brownies with cum? Gross.

[chobitfan48]

@1729439568 did you not watch the video?

[The137thJackal]

am i the only one who thinks that it look´d amazing all the way along?

[mylilhannah]

@The137thJackal yes. haha

[Grounded4Life16]

that looks great

[copykatrecipes]

Two big thumbs up for the tappa tappa method of smoothing out your batter. Banga Banga is so controversial.

[90scoolll]

and also we can add brown sugar

[UnhappyGaming]

So, did anyone else manage to bend a whisk while making this recipe? >.<

[TheSeventhChaos1]

Make the spiciest food you possibly can for video #666!!! :D

[yolandac]

It looks delicious!!!!!!! And very easy to make!!!!!!!

[Raphsody17]

OMG! So so good looking! *drool*

[CreeperTerminator]

aaahhhhhhhh

[Haiileyx]

I SEEN AN EGG SHELL!!!!!!!

[lopilop177]

@Haiileyx You SEEN or you SAW?

[Abeba323]

lol. talk about an ugly duckling turned into a swan

[SoraSoro]

YOU KNOW WHAT LOOKS LIKE A SPATULA.....A SPATULA. LOLZ.

[mercurian29]

I just made this :D My very first baking venture!

There was that one moment when I was about to put in my second egg and I thought, "Yeah, I fucked this up".

It was ok in the end though. :)

[KrazyKindaPOPSTAR]

you're awesome!

[ohblackwater]

Made it today for a lunch at my office. Everyone loved it! Thanks for posting!

[thevirtualnightmare]

gah! this was awesome!!!!

[sakurasoh]

I love the way you say "ENJOY"...

[oreobaby73]

this looks so easy!

[SirineB]

BANGA BANGA :D lol

[narutoSU8D]

It Would have been a RED tree if he add cayenne.

[RockDeborah666]

i wish u were my uncle or something:D

[MAPG888]

honestly it doesn't really look disgusting hehehe

[ajlazyboy23]

The brownies looks absolutely amazing but as soon as he said "Too much mint extract will make the frosting taste like Tooth Paste" turned me off the mint frosting completely. I'll definitely make the brownies thought! Lol

[DejectedDonkey]

what is considered high quality coco?

[LifeLoveElvis]

Yummmm!!!!!!

[ATLSwagPrincess]

U have a Gud radio voice

[KrisPer96]

Very good brownies! Just made them and they are amazing!

[anime9842]

why do i torture myself like this...

[Rockmanisoff]

I didn't have the ingredients to make the icing but I just made the brownies and they were goddamn awesome. I will never buy box brownie mix ever again. Thanks John

[z90OoAluYsioNoO09z]

"And then I thought to myself, hey, you know what works like a spatula? A spatula" I LOL'ed when I heard that. It's cool of you to make a dessert for us you don't actually like since you don't like the mint chocolate combo. I personally love it, but hate it when the mint over powers the chocolate. Also, I hate mint/creme de menthe and ONLY like peppermint, not just mint, it's too toothpasty flavored and peppermint has a stronger flavor, so you can use like half a drop to a drop and it's perfect.

[Surprise2406]

There was a piece of shell when you dumped in the first egg... Da da daaaam...

[Disembow1280]

@Surprise2406 Don't you mean "ba dum, tissss"

[nemof]

your voice amuses me no end, love your videos keep them coming!

[thebirdmanjoe2]

At 1:24 it looks like bear crap.

[AngelPhantasie]

Man... I haven't had brownies in forever... and these look so good; I sincerely hate mixing, however, so I think I'll just stick to mint chocolate chip ice cream (:

[darkwatcher56]

Yes. Yes, I am the boss of my icing.

[marinamkd]

*bows* teach me, master! :D

[talmoosoo18]

JUST MADE THESE!!!!!!! they came out perfectly and are delicious!!! recommended. as soon as i saw the video i got up and made em :)

[JCdreamsJC]

Good thing you didn't show us you eating the brownie. Or I would have died! :O

[Stereotypeblackguy]

Chef John Not only are you one of the greatest Cooks you are also the best maker of memes lol

[HotbagelsProject]

how come we cant break the baking dish?

[HolyPastie]

:O Where's the real chocolate?

[amandaPanda12354]

what cocoa powder do you use?

[cjjesse]

I really like this type of brownie. Finally i know how to make it though i don't like it with icing.

[HighRisingArizona]

@zhaguiri No! don't do it! It wouldn't hurt you, but it wouldn't taste good, or create the proper texture for your icing.

[Zhaquiri]

@HighRisingArizona

Haha. Thanks. I didn't do it. I think I'll go to the mall tomorrow to find a shop that exclusively sells baking items (the grocery stores here don't have the Peppermint Oil). I really like the idea of chocolate and peppermint together. Here's to hoping I can find actual Peppermint Oil (not Peppermint Fragrance that's blue). ;p

[Dimorall]

:OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

the rare, elusive banga banga!!!!

[luphness]

I love you chef Johnnn ! I really do :D and I definitely will try this one out.Thank you !!

[therrain]

I dig the tappa-tappa

[Zhaquiri]

I have peppermint oil for my candle burner (aromatherapy). Is this oil safe to use as a flavoring? I tasted it, and it made my tongue feel really cool and minty. Since it's "peppermint OIL" (and Generally Regarded As Safe according to the internet), is it really safe?

[pskies1]

@Zhaquiri seriously? :))

[Zhaquiri]

@pskies1

It was desperation talking. ;p I couldn't find actual Peppermint Oil (the one that actually looks like oil) where I live, but I do have Peppermint Fragrance (it doesn't look like oil; it's blue) that I use for aroma therapy. I was, I guess, hopelessly hoping it would be OK to use as food flavoring. haha :D

[nikibowe]

I've been waiting for a brownie recipe ever since I subscribed. I'll definitely be trying this one out.

[saerangkim]

can you make the icing the same way but without the mint? i really don't like mint.

[minklerender]

Chef Jon! I have a question! Can I use the icing for cookies? and since it has milk in it, how long before the icing turns bad? (if it does) THANKS

[mahtay2000]

and you know what else also works like a whisk?

[Papermesh]

@mahtay2000 a spatula.

[idontthinkilikethis]

MMMM i really shouldnt be here...

Lol!

[50hellkat2]

wow....i have had something similar as a child. Fantastic. Mint icing with chocolate delicious combination.

And the best part....dead easy.

[imapieface]

@jaseth1337 considering he said that even with the mint extract you should do it by taste...you should probably do it by taste.

[imapieface]

I'll try the brownie. Not the mint. I LOVE. A good, chewy, fudgy brownie, but you stay away from my chocolate when it comes to peanut butter, mint, or cherries and the such. So disgusting.

[jaseth1337]

If I use fresh mint, how much should I add to make it as minty as in your recipe?

I don't mind the pieces of mint in the icing.

Very delicious looking recipe!

[ThatKitten]

I made this recipe for my grandparents and they loved it! I will start making your recipes often now! The brownies were really good. Thanks!

[riceball23]

Not a big fan of mint, but this looks delicious...

[Rotorzilla]

I can use brown sugar? Im out of regular sugar today.

[EtherSalad]

This looks amazing... and I JUST happen to have some left over cocoa from a completely failed recipe for a chocolate mud cake I made using robjnixon's recipie that I made for my birthday to share with my family and friends. Had a hard brick like crust, the cake was a super dense fudge, with a hard, very condensed icing that, for some reason, people turned their nose up at. So I got myself everything I need for these awesome brownies.

[zeebier2]

That's clearly a Noble Fir. Clearly.

[mansidhunna1]

i absolutely ABSOLUTELY LOVE your recipes.

please Please PLEASE adopt me :)

[KiNPiN1835]

diabetes, here i come.

[DejectedDonkey]

Just wanted to share with my foodwishes family...R.I.P. Kim Jong-il :'(

[EyesFat]

@DejectedDonkey hes a crazy person

[Ipeeinyoursoup]

My grandma has actually made pretty much this exact recipe for 20+ years, and was always my favorite Christmas time treat she would make. She passed away a year ago, thanks chef John for reminding me I should make these in her honor this year!

[ldigyo]

these seem to be exactly the brownies i like! i'll make this as soon as i get butter :)

[funkiemunkie00]

I love you, Chef John. I just love you

[Kastradon]

What if I DO want it to taste like toothpaste

[3xHal3edAKABo3]

Chef John :D Gingerbread pls?

[Salir]

My food wish is to kidnap Chef John so that he can cook for my Christmas party! xD

[ryans158]

I can't wait to eat this 4 Christmas! XD

[beety5963]

@ryans158 fat ass

[chicagris1]

Chef John thank you so much for taking time and post videos. I LOVE watching them your amazing!! I cant wait to make these they look sooo yummmy!!

[lolo101520]

looks great

seriously chef .......... I love you

[DackIsBack]

Reminds me of Matilda...

YOU CAN DO IT BRUCIE!

YOU CAN DO IT BRUCE!

YEAH! YOU CAN DO IT!

GO BRUCE!

BRUCE, BRUCE, BRUCE!! *EATS FISTFUL OF CHOCOLATE CAKE*

/watch?v=fSB_HA9GdDE

[ShugoJSY]

can i use this brownie recipe for the rum ball recipe?

[MissPonderosa]

hey chef john, just a suggestion that would make your vids even better. If when you take a bite of your food unmute the video... because it will be REAL food porn, sound and all XD

[TheRealrocker74]

@MissPonderosa some people complain when Chef John does that. Just check out the Onion Ring video.

[MissPonderosa]

@TheRealrocker74 I watched it and I LOVED the sound! :P I think it attracts more viewers that are hungry... its the only time I ever watch his videos XP. If your talking about the top comment 'I gulped when I heard the crunch sound :'(' I think they were joking around pretty much saying that they were hungry and jealous. But the imo anyway

[riceball23]

@MissPonderosa FOOD PERVERT!

[MissPonderosa]

@riceball23 why are you watching these videos?

[rlwalker2]

Oh wow - lookin' so good.

[DejectedDonkey]

Chef John reminds me of Eminem.

[DoveOfFlames]

I made the icing tonight for the brownies I made my bosses. It was delicious! I can't eat chocolate, so I didn't get to try the brownie, but my mom kept wanting more, so it was clearly good! lol Thank you so much for posting this! You make baking/cooking so much more fun and so easy!

[slgrove77]

I was hoping to see some kind of festive cocktail drink..maybe some Kahlua or Bailey's would be great. Sometimes I am just in the mood for a festive drink since I don't usually have anything the rest of the year. Thanks for thinking about it.

[alphaomegaMF]

@slgrove77 You should really start kicking a few back from time to time instead of just the holidays. Just sayin...

[liarsclub75]

These brownies are tasty enough on their own without the icing. I think next time I will add mint chocolate chips to this. I tried making the icing with creme de mint but it was disgusting, perhaps because it was an old bottle. I just wound up making a plain sugar icing and they tasted good.

[cellopwns]

the rare and alusive banga-banga... i never would have guessed i would havae seen one in my lifetime....

[ChickenWingChampion]

add weed to it!

[blazeedge93]

You know what works like a spatula? A spatula.

[RA1KU]

that made my day :3

[MissPonderosa]

can I do it without the mint ... maybe with some other essence like vanilla? Almond?

[alphaomegaMF]

@MissPonderosa I just made some with vanilla instead of mint because I'm not a huge mint fan... They're delicious!

[dianethesun]

YUMMMMMMMMMMY

[dalianlong427]

I love banga banga

[MUDSWAT]

Can I lick the bowl ?

[vincemealfull]

@MUDSWAT No! You flush it like everyone else!

[rawrstephie]

I love you for this.

[beckwhitty]

WOW these look great!

[adamax08]

A Brownie is a Brownie when its all over your face after you eating it :))

[mztadobolina]

could I put chocolate chips in this recipe? My family are particularly glutenous as well.. and something tells me chocolate chips might make them more so

[ThatKitten]

I am going to try this for Christmas! Such a yummy looking recipe.

[RiOC18]

definately going to try it a day before christmas,thanks (:

[dryden19]

looks yummy!i'm gonna try it!tnx chef!

[mione3690]

why is there salt in this? just wondering...

[Nordic007Nordic]

If ever you stop to say "enjoy" at the end of your videos, I'll unsub. XD

[akujimihendrix]

@Nordic007Nordic the best comment on youtube!!

[8324935]

what are the measurements????????

[memeinmakeupland]

yuuummmm

[GGGGMOO]

SO YUMMY! But i don't have a oven. it's not common in china.

[WhiteTeaRoses315]

Can you make these as double mint brownies, such as putting a little mint extract in the brownie batter as well as also in the mint icing, then you would have a double mint brownie. (Mint chocolate chip ice cream is my favorite.) Also, what if you put a little red food coloring in the white icing, and made the brownies have red icing with a green Christmas tree on it. Very "Christmas-sy." Thanks for sharing. Looks, and sounds, delicious.

[FixaKnut]

i LOL-ed when i thought "what works like a spatula?" and chef john said a spatula.

[Twilightfanatiker]

I'm totaly gonna make this for christmas! ;)

[Dwergideon]

Can you still put wallnuts peacannuts in there, for a nice and chunky brownie?

[HoneiiDiiva]

Oh! Tasty!

[123456789robbie]

does anyone know what chef john's face looks like?

[Veronor93]

@123456789robbie if you go to his youtube profile and look through his videos, he shows his face in one of them :)
