An even easier mint topping is to use mini peppermint patties- top hot brownies with peppermint patties, allow to melt and spread over top of brownies, cool and cut. (may need to return to oven for a minute or two to melt).

I used the Ghiradelli Triple Chocolate mix as the base, one of the best packaged brownie mixes ever! I didn't melt the butter, just let it come to room temp and mixed it with the powdered sugar to make it fluffy. I added 1 1/2 tsp. peppermint extract and no food coloring. Finally, I chilled the brownies before adding the chocolate topping. This was a huge birthday hit for a friend who loves mint chocolate.

These are totally incredible. I had made this recipe years ago and lost it, so happy to see it here! The only changes I made: 1) Had to bake brownies for about 40 minutes to get them done, and they were perfect. 2) Did not melt-- only softened-- butter for the mint layer. 3) used mint extract (about 1 tsp) instead of creme de menthe. Excellent, thank you! I'm eating one right now. :-)

A big hit around our house. I did use a box of brownie mix and mint flavoring rather than creme de menthe. The result was wonderful.

i bake all the time this was the worst ever the filling flopped once i added the choc mixer and started beating to get stiff peaks it turned back to liquid what a disaster as these are really expensive to bake dont't waste your time there are much better brownie recipes out there

My fiance and I recently made these and they turned out pretty well - not as moist as we had hoped but good nonetheless. We added walnuts to the brownie batter for a nice addition. That being said, we'd make them again for another get together.

This was fabulous! I used our favorite boxed mix and then made the topping. I subsituted 1-1/2 tsp of mint extract for the creme de menthe. I also melted the chips in the micro. I was unsure who this would work but it was so easy. Added butter to chips - micro for 1 min. on power level 5. Stir. Micro for 30 secs on power level 5. Stir. And lastly, micro 30 more secs. WOW! No rating I described talked about the combonation of textures here - the moist brownie on the bottom with a cream filling in the center and then finished with semi-sweet chocolate crust! Truely delectable!
