Chocolate Mint Brownies

I usually bake the most right before a holiday, and St. Patrick’s Day is my all-time favourite holiday to bake for, both for the kids and friends. Case and point? These Baileys Chocolate Cookies.

I’ve actually been counting down all year to make these again, and know I’ll have to make a few batches this year to keep up with friends demands, which started coming in right after Valentine’s Day was over.

This year I wanted to try another festive recipe for St. Patrick’s Day, yet knew I needed chocolate in there too because, well, chocolate. And truth be told, who can resist a brownie? This is how Chocolate Mint Brownies were born.

This brownie dessert has it all – the classic look, taste, and the simplicity thanks to using a brownie mix. Quite honestly, I’m actually not a huge fan of mint and typically shy away from recipes containing mint.

Yet these impressed me so much {thanks to the not too strong minty taste} that I might just change my stubborn stance altogether.

Whether or not your St. Patrick’s Day festivities involve green-coloured beer, a themed dessert should be called for. Chocolate Mint Brownies, yes! And again, you simply MUST try these Baileys Chocolate Cookies – or both!

Ingredients

• 1 Brownie cake mix
• ½ cup Chocolate chips {semi sweet or milk chocolate your preference}

FOR THE ICING

• 3 cups Icing Sugar
• ½ cup Butter
• 2 tbsp Cream
• ¼ - ½ tsp Mint extract
• 5 drops Green food colouring

FOR THE DRIZZLE

• 1/3 cup Milk chocolate chips melted

Instructions

1. Prepare brownies according to the box directions and let completely cool
2. To prepare icing, begin by beating the butter and 1 cup of sugar together. Slowly add the remaining cups. The icing should be stiff, so add the mint extract first, the food coloring and then the cream in ½ tablespoon increments until the desired consistency is reached.
