Photo: Creme de Menthe Brownies Recipe
Ingredients
- 1 (19.5-ounce) box milk chocolate brownie mix (recommended: Pillsbury)
- 3 eggs
- 1/2 cup vegetable oil
- 1/4 cup plus 2 teaspoons creme de menthe liqueur, divided
- 1/2 cup chopped creme de menthe thins, about 18 (recommended: Andes)
- 1 (8-ounce) package cream cheese, softened (recommended: Philadelphia)
- 1/2 cup sugar
Directions
Lightly spray a 1 1/2-quart souffle dish with butter-flavored cooking spray.
Make a foil ring, 1-inch thick, for souffle dish to sit on inside a 5-quart slow cooker.
In a medium bowl, combine brownie mix, 2 eggs, vegetable oil, and 1/4 cup creme de menthe. Stir using 50 strokes or use a hand blender on medium speed for 1 minute to combine. Fold in chopped mint thins. Transfer to prepared souffle dish and set aside.
In a medium bowl, combine cream cheese, remaining egg, sugar, and 2 teaspoons creme de menthe. Using an electric mixer beat on low speed until smooth. Spread over brownie mixture. Use a butter knife to cut cream cheese mixture into brownie mixture for a marble effect.
Place souffle dish on top of foil ring in slow cooker. Lay 8 paper towels over top of slow cooker bowl and secure with lid. (This helps to trap steam.)
Cook on LOW setting for 4 1/2 to 6 hours. (Do not lift lid to check brownies for the first 3 hours.)
Allow brownies to cool completely before cutting.

Took this to a Pot Luck for St. Patty's Day. Everyone loved it!
Especially good if leftovers are refrigerated.
This was my third time to make it. First time tried making it in a bowl instead of a souffle dish, middle didn't cook correctly, needed to finish baking it in the oven.
Bought a 2 quart souffle dish, but it sat several hours (forgot to plug in crockpot! before cooking for 4 1/2 hours-came out good.
Next time had to transport crockpot to pot luck location during cook time after 4 1/2 hours and never really hardened up, but everyone loved them!
Does using 1 1/2 quart souffle dish instead of 2 qt. make that much of a difference? 1 1/2 qt. dish difficult to find at stores.

I tried this recipe and ended up cooking it on the upper end of the timing scale because I thought the middle of the brownies weren't done yet. After it had cooled the bottoms and a good chunk of the brownie were rock hard. So you had to scrap off the edible part. Also, when I put the cream cheese mixture on top, it was very runny and I did not get the nice swirls like Sandra did. I was hoping for a better presentation value. I will try it again sometime and cook it on the lower end of the timing scale and see how it goes.
