Chocolate Mint Brownies
Chocolate Mint Brownies
While a college student at Brigham Young University, I attended many functions where these iconic chocolate mint brownies were served. So amazing, so tasty! And just a couple of years ago while attending a BYU event with my son, I enjoyed them all over again. I love these nostalgic brownies, a perfect blend of mint and chocolate with a smooth chocolate glaze. I’ve never attempted to recreate them; somehow they seemed out of my reach.
Fast forward a few years and thanks to the creation of a fun neighborhood cookbook in which my neighbor JoAnne included this recipe, I would not have known how to put these together. So perhaps I should thank/blame JoAnne for this “have-to-have” dessert for those special occasions, like “just because”! And they’re not hard to make, just a little time consuming because each layer needs to cool completely before adding the next.
When you just gotta have them, and nothing else will do, I make these decadent brownies and enjoy every bite! Granted I lighten them up by dropping an egg yolk, switching to whole wheat pastry flour and using coconut oil instead of butter, but there’s plenty of added sugar and chocolate to go around. So I’m not saying they’re better for you, but I can say you will be better for having enjoyed a square or two.
