We love these delicious minty brownies anytime of the year, but especially during the Christmas holidays. Or try them for St. Patrick's Day!

Equipment

  • 9 x 13 baking dish

Ingredients

  • 1 Brownie box mix of choice
  • 1 Chocolate Frosting of choice
  • Confectioners sugar
  • Menthe flavoring or Crème de Menthe flavoring
  • Water
  • Green Dye

Instructions

  • Prepare one box of brownie mix according to the package instructions.
  • Bake the brownies as directed and allow them to cool completely.
  • Chocolate Frosting:
  • Use one can of pre-made chocolate frosting.
  • Stir the frosting well until it becomes lighter and fluffier.
  • Green Mint Frosting:
  • In a small bowl, add a small capful of mint (menthe) flavoring.
  • Mix in enough powdered sugar water to create a thin frosting paste -- you want at least 1/2 cup of the paste. Add more water if the frosting is too thick, or more powdered sugar if it is too thin.
  • Stir in 2 drops of green food coloring until evenly combined.
  • Spread the chocolate frosting evenly over the cooled brownies.
  • Spoon small amounts of the green mint frosting on top of the chocolate frosting.
  • Use a toothpick or the back of a spoon to gently swirl the two frostings together, creating a marbled effect.
