Yummy but next time will try a different recipe for the brownie base. The use of creme de menthe was awesome. I upped that to 3 tbsp plus another tbsp in the top chocolate icing. Also added green food colouring to the butter layer.

O M G this is a phenomenal dessert! i URGE you to not buy prepared frosting & adding mint extract... making the real deal is easy ( i mean,youre already knee deep in fresh dessert mode so why stop now?) & worth it.. tip: i used mint extract & heavy whipping cream instead of the milk trick when making the mint frosting. yes, this will take a day (you need to fridge the minted brownies so they'll semi -harden) i made this xmas eve day (amongst my other cooking-- yes im crazy!) for xmas day dinner & my family LOVED IT... i felt like super star chef! i will cherish this recipe forever!

I used boxed brownies....It was pretty good just wish the mint portion was a different icing because powdered sugar is way to sweet

I made this for Thanksgiving and they came out wonderful! I tried a recipe from a coworker some years ago, but the brownie part didn't come our right for me. I have never had luck with brownies. But this recipe came out nice and moist and oh the creme de menthe! Thanks for this recipe; finally a brownie that works for me!

I thought the brownies had a strange spongy texture and a weak chocolate taste. They were much different than a traditional brownie recipe. I liked the mint chocolate topping. They tasted much better when they were refrigerated.

Absolutely fabulous!if you like peppermint patties you will love this. I used my fave boxed brownie mix and took other reviewers ideas to use mint extract instead of creme de menthe and a couple of drops of green food color.

Great recipe, tastes more like a cake than a brownie though, I'd also add more creme de menthe to increase the mint flavor

I don't know if this is fair or not but I took away a star because of the difficulty I had finding "creme de menthe liqueur". It was even for St Patty's day and no store in my town carried it. I ended up using mint extract and the flavor just didn't do it for me. The idea is 5 starts but the hassle and end result warrant 3 in my book.

Mercy, these are incredible! I took others' advice and used a brownie mix (from Aldi's which is the best box mix I have ever tried) instead of going from scratch. I also went with 1 T peppermint extract and some green food coloring instead of the creme de menthe. Will try using 2 tsp. of extract the next time. DELICIOUS!
