Use an HDMI splitter.

A splitter will mirror the screens.
The later model Minis also have an HDMI port? Why not use that for one monitor

Oh alright, no mirroring is not what I wanted. The Mac Mini has a HDMI port, but just 1. Or is there a one hdmi to two hdmi adapter?

Use the HDMI port for one monitor and a mini displayport to HDMI adopter on the other. That adopter plugs into the Thunderbolt port.
You want to set them up as extended displays.
he following also applies to Yosemite
