Creme de Menthe Mint Brownies
Ingredients
- 1 18.3-ounce box brownie mix plus ingredients listed on the package
- 4 ounces crushed crème de menthe candies
Instructions
- Prepare the brownies according to the package directions.
- While the brownies are hot, sprinkle the crème de menthe candies on top and allow them to melt. You can swirl the melted candies for a pretty design or simply leave them as they are. It is best to let the candy harden before cutting so you can get nice even pieces.
I do something similar by placing Andes chocolate candies (individually wrapped) on top of the brownies immediately after they come out of the oven. Let them sit (and melt) for about two mins, then spread the melted minty chocolatey yumminess over the warm brownies. You can either cover entire top with the candies, or just a few, depending on how minty you want them.

My brother bakes similar brownies, but he pours half the brownie mix in the pan, then adds a layer of York Peppermint Patties and the rest of the brownie mix. The fudgey, creamy, minty center is delicious!!
