Ingredients
- 1 cups (2 sticks) butter, softened
- 2 cups sugar
- 4 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 11/4 cup all-purpose flour
- 3/4 cup unsweetened cocoa
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 (10-ounce) package Creme de Menthe baking chips (recommended: Andes)
- Shaved Creme de Menthe thins (recommended: Andes)
- Chocolate frosting
Frosting:
- 1/2 cup (1 stick) butter, melted
- 1/3 cup cocoa
- 2 cups sifted confectioners' sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 tablespoons milk
Directions
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Grease a 13 by 9 by 2-inch pan.
Using an electric mixer, combine butter and sugar in a large mixing bowl; beat at medium speed until creamy. Add eggs, 1 at a time, beating well after each addition. Add vanilla, mixing well.
In a separate bowl, combine flour, cocoa, and baking powder. Gradually stir into butter mixture. Fold in mint chips. Spoon into greased pan. Bake for 35 minutes.
While brownies are baking, prepare frosting. Combine butter, cocoa, confectioners' sugar, vanilla and milk in a large mixing bowl; beat at medium speed with an electric mixer until dry ingredients are moistened. Beat at high speed until spreading consistency.
Remove pan from the oven and allow brownies to cool in pan on wire rack. Spread with chocolate frosting. Top with shaved mint thins.

Made these for a Holiday party. Used chopped up Andes instead of the Andes baking chips. They were hard to cut through but sooo worth it. EVERYONE who tried them complimented them and/or asked for the recipe. I'm sure I'll be making them often, for myself and at the request of all my friends.

These had a really great mint flavor, but the texture was a bit too dense for my taste. The brownies were also pretty crumbly. I would've preferred a lighter, moister brownie. Based on reviews that said the Andes chips can taste a little chalky, I used chopped Andes Candies. I allowed them to cool completely before cutting, and they were still difficult to cut and several of them fell apart. All in all, we'll definitely eat the batch, but I'd look for another recipe if I wanted to make mint chocolate brownies again.
