I absolutely love mint and chocolate, and ever since I bought some Mint Oil for my Shamrock Shake recipe, I’ve been trying to find ways of using it. These are some pretty involved brownies, as there are 3 layers, but they are totally worth it in the end!
You Will Need:
Brownie Layer
4oz (1 bar) baking chocolate
1c unsalted butter
4 eggs
2c sugar
1/2 t salt
1t vanilla extract
1c flour
Creme de Menthe Layer
1/2 c butter
2c powdered sugar
1 Tbls Mint Oil
5 drops green food coloring
Chocolate Top Layer
6 oz semi-sweet chocolate chips
6 Tbls butter
Preheat oven to 350 degrees and spray the heck out of a 9×13 baking pan. In a double boiler, melt the butter and baking chocolate together. In a mixer cream together the sugar and eggs until fluffy. Add the chocolate, then salt, vanilla, and flour to the mixer.
Pour batter into pan and bake for about 25 minutes. Be sure to use the toothpick test method on these. I totally forgot and my brownies were a little undercooked in the middle. They were still delicious though!
Once the brownies have cooled, mix together the Creme de Menthe Layer ingredients and spread on the brownies like icing.
Let the Creme de Menthe Layer chill in the fridge. You will need the handy double boiler again to melt the chocolate chips and butter together. Pour on top of the 2 layers and let chill in the fridge until the top is hardened.
Cut and enjoy!

Those look incredible!! I might try it the cheaters way and just use box brownies for the bottom layer. 😉
Nothing wrong with that! The from scratch brownie was delicious but a bit tedious. I think a box brownie mix for the bottom layer would be totally fine!
Those look positively heavenly! I love Creme de Menthe!
My daughter would love this and they’re so easy! Thanks for the St. Pats idea!
I love anything minty. These look very tasty!
YUM! These look scrumptious!
I love mint anything! They totally seem worth the effort. Gonna have to try these! 🙂
My husband would just love this! Going to surprise him with it. 🙂
Oh my, I love the mint and chocolate combo! I can’t wait to try these.
OMGosh! These look amazing!! I am seriously sitting at my desk drooling! We have a get together this weekend, I should make these!
WOW! These sounds incredible!! I love any kind of Brownies, but I usually end up making some plain brownies out of a box — nothing like this!
Like someone else commented, you could do a box brownie and do the mint and chocolate layer on those!
Those look so good. I’m not much of a baker, but I just might have to try this recipe!
I love Brownie but never thought to add mint this sounds like a great combo.
